That my sister-in-law gave to me
I used to drive my friends to shows
Allll the way from the 'burbs to Shorewood
Back in those days,
Shows were plentiful
Good shows
At least that's what we thought they were
And the Orchard Inn had shows
On a regular basis
My friends and I went there often
And one night
We took kite string
And filed off the
"PLYMOUTH"
&
"ACCLAIM"
decals that were on the back
Jennell took one home
And made a necklace out of it
I got a new car when I was 17
A '98 Pontiac Firebird
With T-tops
Looking back...
I should've gone with a sensible car
Something that handles well in snow
But I was 17
And had the money
And nobody to tell me not to do it
I was just a foolish child
And now I guess I am a "grown-up"
