Story Behind The Song
I actually did meet a girlfriend on craigslist and she was my girlfriend for a year and a half. She was tough to get along with. When we were finally broken up for good, I heard from her ex-husband that she got into an affair with a married guy. Not just any married guy, but "The Bachelor". An actual contestant from the show who was married to the Italian model he'd chosen on the show.

Lyrics
I once met a girl on Craigslist
Not a good idea
I once met a girl on Craigslist
I wish that I could disappear
A year and a half with a hole in my head
Hole in my heart. She could pick a good fight
And not just when you think it'd be
She'd come right out in the middle of the night
Oooh, shut it down!
Oooh, shut it down!
I once met a girl with a hole in her heart
She hated her father like no one I'd ever seen before
I once met a girl with a hole in her head
Hole in her head but somehow she survived
Angels look and feel so serene
But look deep in her eyes and she's just mean
I once met a girl on Craigslist
I think I made a tasty meal
Shoulda gone on match dot com
No no! I'm done with that ordeal
Faded beauty seems so surreal
But I ain't yet so jaded I can't feel
A year and a half with a hole in my head
Hole in my life and I can't get it back!
