My new purple shoes Been amazin' the people next door And my rock 'n roll 45's Been enragin' the folks on the lower floor I've got a way with the 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 kind of ritual 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 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 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 outta this place
