Lyrics
i was just a dumb punk
wannabe rock star
dating my guitar
you were the shy girl
with the backpack
you sat in front of me in poetry class
and you liked dickenson
and i liked dickenson
and we were loaded guns
you in your bobby socks
and your high tops
hot rocks
on the jukebox
sweeter than a soda pop
spinning on the dance floor
in some redneck bar on the eastern shore
i was just a dumb punk
wannabe rock star
driving my dad's car
you were the smart girl
with the good hair
your daddy bought you a red corvair
and you liked ELO
and i liked ELO
and we were good to go
you in your bobby socks
and your high tops
hot rocks
on the juke box
sweeter than a soda pop
spinning on the dance floor
in some redneck bar on the eastern shore
the old guys sip their bud and watch you move
and for a moment they don't feel so far removed
from bobby socks
and high tops
jerry lee
on the jukebox
sweeter than a soda pop
spinning on the dance floor
in some redneck bar on the eastern shore
wannabe rock star
dating my guitar
you were the shy girl
with the backpack
you sat in front of me in poetry class
and you liked dickenson
and i liked dickenson
and we were loaded guns
you in your bobby socks
and your high tops
hot rocks
on the jukebox
sweeter than a soda pop
spinning on the dance floor
in some redneck bar on the eastern shore
i was just a dumb punk
wannabe rock star
driving my dad's car
you were the smart girl
with the good hair
your daddy bought you a red corvair
and you liked ELO
and i liked ELO
and we were good to go
you in your bobby socks
and your high tops
hot rocks
on the juke box
sweeter than a soda pop
spinning on the dance floor
in some redneck bar on the eastern shore
the old guys sip their bud and watch you move
and for a moment they don't feel so far removed
from bobby socks
and high tops
jerry lee
on the jukebox
sweeter than a soda pop
spinning on the dance floor
in some redneck bar on the eastern shore

not realize it but your music is so infused with a "je ne sais quoi". (a great one imho). Definitely rooted in 60's pop culture, you manage to transcend that era's static recordings and come up with something really unique. This one has a slightly outside thread running through it, that makes it wonderfully edgy (screw the A&R guys). I also find myself looking forward to your solo's :-). There's always an element of pure passion in them. Raw if thats OK to say.
The chorus was sweet. Love that part
