Verse:
Well we talked about old times
Like a couple of old guys
And took a little walk to the old baseball diamond
And along came O'Brien with a guitar in his hand
Met us on the field with impeccable timing
Chorus:
He said "I got a new song to show ya
"Though it prob'ly ain't gonna blow your mind"
And the thing about O'Brien was
/F#
He could always make a string buzz like it was nineteen-eighty-nine
And I remembered that old car
And that old girlfriend of mine
It was a cracked wooden thing
He said Wanna talk about old strings?
It's been 10, 12 years since I last changed mine
And it said Sears down the neck
Had a little blood stain on the 2nd fret
But you know it still keeps impeccable time
CHORUS
And thats the story of how O'brien blew my mind
