lyrics

Verse 1

He said, "I hope this letter finds you well
I recently got a job at Sasktel"
I remember he used to keep bees in the backyard
A couple students acting hard
I moved to Edmonton, Alberta
Now it’s been about 12 years after the turn of the century
If we want to take this back in time I went to Pearson Elementary
I can see my wood pile over there as the sun comes up over the trees and the leaves
I can see the door to my garage
And all the empty recycle bins
"A little indecisive" I said
“Just cut my hair just like Cobain"
They want to know if I’ve ever been to a trap
That’s the last time I seen Jeremy to be exact

Chorus
Chickpeas
Rick Steves’ Europe through the back door
I was a young man protesting the Iraq war
Down the aisles of the coffee store
And the Roots’ Do You Want More?!!!??!
The Christmas lights are shining so bright
I don’t know where we’re going tonight
Please exercise patience for my flaws
And watch these rhymes take flight

Verse 2
The retirement show packed and the whole city had my back
Chaz passed away
Took my breath away
This retirement is beautiful
So I’m looking for some new things to do today
Shovel the walk when it snows
In the summertime the grass grows
Shovel the walk
I put on my old clothes
Time keeps on slippin'
MC J and Cool G, So Listen
I made a decision
I did anything a friend would do and drove her to that appointment
We’re at the Lebanese Tim Hortons
Plotting a rap bounce back
When I go to the government building today, think of how I think different 
10 years a humpty's cook
I got the old man look out of the fuckin' handbook

Chorus
Chickpeas
Rick Steves’ Europe through the back door
I was a young man protesting the Iraq war

Down the aisles of the coffee store
And the Roots’ Do You Want More?!!!??!
The Christmas lights are shining so bright
I don’t know where we’re going tonight
Please exercise patience for my flaws
And watch these rhymes take flight
