CONTEXT
The other character in this song is inspired by a mixture of a few people who have come in and out of my life over the years. Spending time with them is akin to co-driving a rally car.
LYRICS
Listen as you read on Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music
I can only keep up when you talk slow
So talk slow
Go on and kick your feet up on the glove box
No socks
You like the breeze between your bare toes
And Anna-Maria Tremonti's radio show
So let your hair down and your mouth go
But talk slow
I'm nodding yes but I don't know
Ou we ou ah
Compact disks in the console
Looking for one that you might know
"Hey that's a Katydid!"
I said "No... It's Katy Lied. Oh my. I just got the joke"
I used to play the saxophone
I bet it's still somewhere at home
I used to play in a band
I could sing with no hands
I bet that you still can
Dianna won't you sing the chorus?
Ou we ou ah
