The Reverend Double J: Music

1987

(J.J. Vicars)

Disc-only bonus track, not available for download. This song was just begging to be rocked out. After being performed at several shows it was recorded. The author was so happy with the way it turned out it had to be included on the album. Hear the original at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/gloff14

A little Tail Gators influence with some tremolo guitar in places and the guitar solo somehow turned into FREE BIRD. Since the hook line in Jeremy Gloff's original recording sounded a bit like Prince's I COULD NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF YOUR MAN I threw a few Prince quotes in the solo. A year after the album was released nobody caught 'em, not even that chick from the 1999 video.

He was weak at the thought of her
She told her life in one long slur
He's kinda neurotic, doesn't like people
Something about this girl turns him on
Saw a future in her bloodshot eyes
Got a thing for a girl who cries
Got him most when her walls came down
Got him more when his did too

He might have to jump onto an airplane
She might have to open up her doorway
Why don't you go with her tonight
She lives at 1-9-8-7
Why don't you go with her tonight
She lives at 1-9-8-7

Remember Carolina nights
Teenagers dancin' in headlights
He shined so bright they called him the moon
Better catch her 'cause she's leaving soon
He told himself next time he's learn
Get it right and don't get burned
Boy is dreaming, girl starts to leave
He better catch her, she's the girl of his dreams

Funny that they'd end up on the same train
Funny that they'd end up in the same car
Why don't you go with her tonight
She lives at 1-9-8-7
This is a chance for romance, it's your night
She lives at 1-9-8-7

She always felt all alone in the world
Waiting for her king to sweep her away
Well, to feel like this and never go home
Tonight the trees are making a song of their own
But he loves her, oh yes he does
And she loves him, yes she does
Yeah, he loves her
Look at 'em, they're going back home

Why don't you go with her tonight
She lives at 1-9-8-7
This is your chance for romance, it's your night
She lives at 1-9-8-7
Why don't you go with her tonight
She lives at 1-9-8-7
She ain't gonna leave tomorrow, boy
1-9-8-7
