about

This is a live recording of Paradise Kings at Soho in Santa Barbara recorded on 10/11/2015. It was the first time we played it live, so it's a little rough. It's a swing tune about, what else, young love. We hope you enjoy.

lyrics

Back in the day, there was a girl of mine
She was kind of heavy, but all kinds of fine
She could light up a place like a heart attack
Cause her trunk was roomy and man what a rack
Her name wasn't Alice, Jan or Jenny
She was my one and only.... 69 Chevy

I’d climb behind her wheel and crank the key
She'd roar to life; and we'd be free
Cruzin' round town, hitting all the bases
She knew what she was doin, putting me through the paces
Her name wasn't Alice, Jan or Jenny,
She was my one and only.... 69 Chevy

Two Young lovers screamin' down the road
No bumps, no bruises, it all just flowed
Folks said we're sippin' from the cup of sin
But it didn't matter, it was all about skin

The wheels kept rollin'
Scenery flashed on by
Knockin' pins down like bowlin'
Neither of us were shy

Too many tickets, too many fines
Too much fruit plucked from the vines
Time marches on, It's all been said
She went right..... I went left
But when I think of those days, I don't get heavy

She was my one and only……69 Chevy.
