My new purple shoes
'bin amazing the people next door
And my rock'n'roll 45's
'bin enraging the folks on the lower floor
I got a way with the girls on my block
Tryin' my best be a real individual
And when we go down to Smokies and rock
They light up like it's some kinda ritual
Chorus:
Ooh give me a good guitar
and you can say that my hair's a disgrace
or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light out of this place
I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain't free
This insane situation just cuts like a knife
When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy
Chorus:
Ooh give me a good guitar
and you can say that my hair's a disgrace
or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light out of this place
