You used to write my name 
On the back of your notebook 
All adorned with smiles and hearts and stars 
But lately it would appear 
That you found yourself a black magic marker 
Just to make absolutely sure 
That no one ever thought 
That you`d take it that far 
It`s been a good year for, bad days 
Or a bad year for, good days 
Well here we go again now, here we go again now 
You used to write me those 
Funny little letters 
In a language ours and ours alone 
I gave my "Catcher in the Rye" 
For your "Cats Cradle" 
And I gave my "White" for your "Abby Road" 
It`s been a good year for, bad days 
Or a bad year for, good days 
Well, here we go again now, here we go again now 
Truck tires, trash fires 
Face first, through the wire 
Adios, Au`revoir 
I see now what I never saw 
No more pet names, postcards and picture frames 
Adios, Au`revoir 
I see now what I never saw 
No more bad knees 
Post cards and picture frames 
Adios, Au`revoir 
I see now that I never saw 
It`s been a good year for, bad days 
Or a bad year for, good days 
It`s been a good year for, bad days 
Or a bad year for, good days 
It`s been a good year for, bad days 
Or a bad year for, good days 
It`s been a good year for, bad days 
Or a bad year for, good days yeah...........
