His name was Abe; my name was trAsh
Yet the world was only the two of us

He ran the track; I danced ballet
Then withered away

I stalked him bad; he was so scared
Wherever he went to I was there

Since I had no friends, let down was numb
And now it was the time for a diff'rent one

He was a redneck boy
I said " Nice shirt there, boy."
He was in love with someone else
I gave my heart to him
So scared it was just a whim
But it was the time to sink or swim

4 years from now, Abe's in his dorm
A heart of stone with black blood not warm

He logs on MySpace; what an event!
Redneck boy leading as president
Abe comments his friends; all five of them know
And they've all got front seats to his talk show

Abe watches alone, rubs his eyes hard
It's that one girl, but a hot star

He was a redneck boy
I said "Nice shirt there, boy"
He was in love with someone else
Now he's the president
Kissing a star God sent
Does Abe's trackstar bod see what she's worth?

Too bad Abe, but who's life is trash?
Need a tip? Cuz I've got cash

Treat your peers with more respect
Not their flaws that you dissect

So sad that you couldn't see
See the swan this chick could be

There is more than looks alone
(Though she's the background on my phone)
His name was Abe and my name was trash
Yet the world was only the two of us

Love rules the States, isn't it grand
How we live and understand

I'm with the redneck boy
I said "Nice suit there, boy"

We'll be engaged after the show

We'll sail on our fine cruise boat
Living the script we wrote
Chain mail for guys I used to know
