What Did I Do

From The Longest Song Wiki

A Longest Johns Original, written by Robbie Sattin and released as track 12 on Ends of the Earth on 1 May 2026. One could consider it a sequel of sorts to Beer is Great.

Lyrics

Very kindly provided by the band.

Well I likes a drink; you surely can tell
Give me a stool and a tap by the bell
But on the occasion I'm over my head
Things go downhill and I lose the thread

{Chorus}
Oh, what did I do? Where did I go?
Asked everybody but nobody knows
I woke up this morning ten miles from my home
Tell me what did I do where did I go

It looks like somebody glued me to a chair
Twigs and thick bracken all stuck in my hair
Five bags of lemons and a piece of a door
A dog by my side that I've not met before

{Chorus}

Well, looking around for some kind of a clue
To help piece together what I went through
Nobody here and the sun is so high
Maybe I need to quit this is the sign

But as I walk home all soiled and sore
Who should I see by the old Cross Keys door
The landlord and he's smiling and beckoning me in
Well I ain't no quitter — let's try this again!

{Chorus x2}
