I sat there as the movie ended
No one around, I was alone
I had just two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home
When I stepped out into the sunlight
From the dark to the unknown
I had just two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home
I guess it's true what they say
I guess I never really use my head
I shouldn't be alone now
Next time I'll probably bring a friend with me instead
I should've paid attention
Instead the Socs caught me by surprise
And I was only thinking of these two things
And all my thoughts were centralized
I could smell their English Leather
And wished I had a blade of my own
But still all I could really think of
Were Paul Newman and a ride home
I had just two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home

Friday Night
01:52
|
|||
Started out at the Dingo for a Coke
Blew our straws at the waitresses and fled
Headed down to the nightly double
Had a quarter, but we hopped the fence instead
Took the seats by the concessions
We're feeling all right
We're at the drive-in, and it's Friday night
It feels different when I'm with my friends now
I'm used to watching movies on my own
But I like it here underneath the stars
Happy just not to be alone
It's getting colder than I thought it would be
But I'm still all right
We're at the drive-in, and it's Friday night
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changity chang sha-bop

She's a Soc
01:24
|
|||
We were hanging at the drive-in when I first met her
I dreamed about how it would be if we were together
She asked if I would come sit next to her
And I started feeling butterflies
We started talking, and it went so well
But then I realized
She's a Soc
I leaned closer when the movie started
Just hoping she might hold my hand
I thought that she might be a dream come true
But now I understand
She's a Soc

Cherry
01:32
|
|||
Let me tell you about this girl I met
See all my troubles went away when we were hanging out
And now she's in my head night and day
There's nothing else that I could really think of thinking about
My friends wanna know why a day doesn't go by
When she's not on my mind
I'm always thinking of Cherry
You know I'm thinking about Cherry
I'm always thinking of Cherry
I hope she's thinking of me
I know how happy we could be
But she couldn't be seen with me
And I know that it's seeming like I'm always daydreaming
But I can't get her off my mind

We Turn It Up
01:17
|
|||
When Elvis is playing on the radio, we turn it up
When I'm hanging with my friends, we like it loud, and so we turn it up
We think the Beatles are rank, but Elvis is tuff
And even if it's loud, it's not loud enough
We turn it up
It might sound loud enough to you
But when Elvis is on, you know what we do

Marcia
01:45
|
|||
Marcia, the first time I saw you sitting there
I knew we were different, but I knew I didn't care
Marcia, I know it's not so likely
You'd go out with a boy like me
But I've been searching for a girl like you
Good-lookin', funny, and so smart
Marcia, there's just one thing that I need
I got your number, but now I need your heart
There's so much I wanna say if you picked up the phone
But I don't even know where to start
Marcia, there's just one thing that I need
I got your number, but now I need your heart

Jay Mountain
02:19
|
|||
We had to get out of town
We had to find somewhere to hide out
We had to find Dally
We headed straight over to Buck's house
When they opened the door, we heard the sound of Hank Williams
Scraping like sandpaper on my nerves
We got some money and a gun, and we were on our way
And now I say...
I always think of Jay Mountain
And all that we went through
I always think of Jay Mountain
And then I'm back there with you
We played poker all night
And watched the dawn go down to each day
We talked about poetry
Our first green was gold, and it stayed
We read Gone With the Wind, and I think it was the first time
That I understood gallantry
It made me really see life in a whole new way
And now I say...
I always think of Jay Mountain
And all that we went through
I always think of Jay Mountain
And then I'm back there with you
I always think of Jay Mountain
Holding my hardest hue
I always think of Jay Mountain
And then I'm back there with you

So Tuff
01:15
|
|||
I know I shouldn't like your Corvair, but it's just so tuff
We have better clothes and better hair, but your car's so tuff
When I'm out with my friends
And you come driving by
We might make fun of you
But I can't tell a lie
It's so tuff
That stingray corvette is just so tuff
Drop top, small block, cherry red, it's just so tuff
You're rich and spoiled, yeah
And we're so sick of it
But when you come around
I have to admit
It's so tuff

Rumble at the Vacant Lot
02:12
|
|||
We're gonna have it out one final time
You're always on our turf, and now you crossed the line
You think you're better cause everything is given to you
But now we've all had enough, so I'll tell you what we're gonna do
We're gonna rumble at the vacant lot tonight
We can see the same sunset that you do
Yeah, things are rough all over, but not as rough for you
You can have your editorials, for all we care
But we hope you show tonight, cause we're gonna meet you there
We're gonna rumble at the vacant lot tonight

In the Country
02:52
|
|||
In the country we'll lie under a tree
In the country we'll trade our worries for glee
We'll just be free out in the country
In the country we'll paint a picture or two
In the country I'll read stories to you
We'll just be free out in the country
We can be together always
We can live so peacefully in the country
We can leave this life behind us
We can live so happily
In the country we'll have horses to ride
In the country I'll be right by your side
we'll just be free out in the country
Just you and me out in the country
