Met Annie through a cloud of novocaine
She said talk to me when you're a little less insane
Meet me at the end of school
I'll be late but just play it cool
Annie with the angel face and perfect grades
Blowing smoke rings with me to the dying day
She's got secrets and you're just one
She's having too much fun to pick just one
You'll have to wait
Annie with the family trip to Italy
You with daddy's whiskey and those two broken teeth
Why don't we ever meet at your place
How would I even begin to explain
You'll have to wait
Annie says you're the wilderness in her
A place to experience and explore
But she keeps the smoke just above her lungs
And it'll take you years just to cough it up
She ain't gonna wait
Annie standing in her cap and gown
You wasted on some lonesome edge of town
She'll up and you'll go down
One day you're gonna escape this town
But until then
You'll have to wait
