Jennifer dates a man in a 60s cover band
|
He's the Ess-dog, or Sean if you wish
|
She's 18, he's 31
|
She's a rich girl, he's the son
|
Of a Coca-Cola middle man
|
|
Kiss when they listen
|
To "Brothers In Arms"
|
And if there's something wrong with this
|
They don't see the harm
|
In joining their forces and singing along
|
|
See those rings on her toes Check that frisbee in his Volvo
|
It's a Volvo with ancient plates
|
They've got a dog she named Trey
|
A retriever with a frayed bandana around his neck
|
|
Trey has a window into their relationship
|
The baby talk voices
|
And the post class-a nasal drip
|
But it all seems to function
|
At least in her dog's mind
|
|
Let me out of here
|
Let me out of here
|
You got to let me out of here
|
You got to let me out of here
|
Let me out of here
|
Out of here
|
Out of here, out of here
|
Let me out of here ill hit the ground running
|
|
Jennifer left for school up in Boulder
|
And the Ess-dog came to visit when he could
|
But the strain was too much
|
They could not make up for distance
|
And the distance between their years
|
|
Neither one listens
|
To "Brothers In Arms"
|
The Ess-dog waits tables
|
And he sold his guitar
|
Jenny pledged Kappa and she started pre-law
|
And off came those awful toe rings
|
Off came those awful toe rings
|
