By the time the buzz was wearin' off
We were standin' out on the sidewalk
With our tattoos that looked like rings
In the hot Nevada sunKids piled high
And our moms and dads shook hands
In a party of Polaroid friends
Rented a pool and hired a bandMaybe they knew more then we knew
'Cause they danced and drank
While we jumped off the deep endOh, I've got you to thank
For thisChristmas came around
Yeah, and everything was going to crap
And our moms and dads not a clue to be had
Yeah, we put on a pretty good actAnd they seemed to all need to believe it
So we danced and smiled
And paddled hard beneath itOh I've got you to thank
For thisYou can't say you've never had a doubt
And smoked it down but really wanted outBy the time the buzz was wearin' off
We were standin' out on the sidewalk
With our tattoos that looked like rings
In the hot Nevada sun and they won't fadeI've got you to thank
