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