Listening to NRBQ Songtext
von Jim Boggia

We started dating during Watergate
We would stay up late
Trashing Nixon
Showed you my collection
Of vinyl sides
LPs and 45s
My addiction

And even though it started out
With some doubt
Things got much better when
You took me back to your parents′
In the basement den
Yours were stacked floor to ceiling
Covered every wall
Then we made out a little
Later that night I drove around with you
Listening to NRBQ


I had a Charger with a big V8
That mother started great
Yeah, it hauled ass
It had an after-market stereo
With FM radio
And an 8-track
And together we would ride
Side by side
That year all summer long
And we'd turn on each other
To our favorite songs
And we′d sing out loud
With the windows rolled down
And your head on my shoulder
And every night
I'd drive around with you
Listening to NRBQ
All summer long
Driving around with you
Listening to NRBQ

I got us tickets on your birthday
For a show in Detroit
And we drove four hours one way
When we got there
We sat down in front
And started to kiss
And then Big Al took a solo
And it went like this


And now I'm older
With a wife and kid
Won′t believe what I did
With my vinyl
Put it on eBay and sold all of it
And though I regret it
All sales final
But every now and then
You pop in my head
And it brings me a smile
And yeah
I still miss that Charger
Every once in a while
Though I wouldn′t change a thing
About the life I have now
You know I still keep your picture
And I remember
Driving 'round with you
Listening to NRBQ
All summer long
Driving around with you
Listening to NRBQ
I wonder now
Will you remember, too
All the things we′d do
Listening to NRBQ

Listening to NRBQ
Listening to NRBQ
Listening to NRBQ
Listening to NRBQ
(I love her)
(She loves me)
(I won't leave her)
