Verse: 1
Hello, Lou
Do you remember me?
We were school friends in elementary
You took the bus home every day at three
I was town kid, you were from the country
Verse: 2
Hello, Lou
Remember those playground days?
You and Dan Matson on the monkey bars swaying,
like circus acrobats doing twists in the air.
I wasn't that good, but you guys still let me hang with you.
Verse: 3
I know, Lou
That doesm't seem like alot,
but you made me feel cool,
whether I was or not.
And I showed my dad that one trick that you taught me
And I could tell by the looks in his eyes he was proud.
Interlude

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 fourwheeler on its side
Verse: 5
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 you.
I couldn't find you anywhere, so I'm gonna publish this out.
Verse: 6
'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 thankfull for that, even if it didn't show
We were just kids, but your memory I still hold
