Description
This is the flip side to Hang Tight. Kind of an odd mix of alt country rock and post punk - i was listening to alot of Two Cow Garage when I wrote this. Lyrically this is one of my favorites - it's pretty much what happened. Disclaimer: those of you who are into cars will know that it could not have been a 69 mach II - in 69 it would have been a mach I. It was actually a 71 but 71 had too many syllables for the song :)

Lyrics
I picked you up outside of John Marshall High School
arm out the window of my 69 mach II
old 97's on the pioneer tape deck
i'm making plans for ideas you aint even thought yet
you come runnin in your t-shirt and your black tights
hand in your gym bag feelin for your camel lights
jump in, throw your bag into the back
kiss me on the cheek and put your feet up on the dash
some day the summer will end
some day we'll go back to school
some day our hearts will be broken
but right now baby everything's cool
your read me stories from your fashion girl magazines
i kept the hammer down, lookin out for state police
singin to the radio and waving at the truckers
talking on their cbs bout the pony with the seat cover
stopped at a steak house off of 95 near rocky mount
tried to use your fake id for beer and got us thrown out
found a motel down the road in elm city
told the lady we were married and she laughed right at me
some day the summer will end
some day we'll go back to school
some day our hearts will be broken
but right now baby everything's cool
arm out the window of my 69 mach II
old 97's on the pioneer tape deck
i'm making plans for ideas you aint even thought yet
you come runnin in your t-shirt and your black tights
hand in your gym bag feelin for your camel lights
jump in, throw your bag into the back
kiss me on the cheek and put your feet up on the dash
some day the summer will end
some day we'll go back to school
some day our hearts will be broken
but right now baby everything's cool
your read me stories from your fashion girl magazines
i kept the hammer down, lookin out for state police
singin to the radio and waving at the truckers
talking on their cbs bout the pony with the seat cover
stopped at a steak house off of 95 near rocky mount
tried to use your fake id for beer and got us thrown out
found a motel down the road in elm city
told the lady we were married and she laughed right at me
some day the summer will end
some day we'll go back to school
some day our hearts will be broken
but right now baby everything's cool
