Hello, Lou Songtext
von Aaron Espe

Hello Lou
Do you remember me?
We were school friends in elementary
You took the bus home every day at three
I was a town kid, you were from the country

Hello Lou
Remember those playground days?
You and Dan Matson on the monkey bars swaying
Like circus acrobats doing twists in the air and
I wasn′t that good but you guys still let me hang with you


I know Lou
That doesn't seem like a lot
But you made me feel cool whether I was or not
And I showed my dad that one trick that you taught
And I could tell by the look in his eyes he was proud

Hello Lou
I′m so sorry you died
My mom told me in the kitchen and I hid my feelings inside
It was the summer vacation, 1995
And I still picture you rolling that fucking four wheeler on its side

Hello Lou
I'm a songwriter now
Not famous, no, but I make a living somehow
And I was thinking about you and so I Googled about
But I couldn't find you anywhere so I′m gonna publish this out


′Cause dear Lou
I know it was a long time ago
But you showed me a kindness and I want you to know
I'm thankful for that even if it didn′t show
We were just kids but your memory I still hold
