Written by Kirk Kiefer

lyrics

Well it was late September and he couldn't remember
how long it'd been
Since he hit the wall so hard he lost a marble or ten

All alone with his alcohol and his nicotine
Wondering how he ended up with this secondhand girlfriend

Well she doesn't need him 'cause she's always got Jesus to lean on
Oh yeah
He doesn't care who she was with or where she's been

Everyone always in love with her and her every whim
While he's stuck waiting up for that secondhand girlfriend

Oh what a shame it is
My my how it always ends
With his hands tied to that secondhand girlfriend

You could see it on his face the day he finally faced the fact
He'd long since smashed through that metaphoric deadend

Waiting up every night was a stupid way to spend
The rest of his life tied to that secondhand girlfriend
