My new purple shoes, bin amazing the people next door

And my rock'n'roll forty fives, bin enraging the folks on the lower floor

I got a way with the girls on my block, try my best to be a real individual

And when we go down to smokies and rock, they line up like it's some kind of ritual

Oh 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 out of this place

I like the good things in life, but most of the best things ain't free

It's the same situation just cuts like a knife

When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy

Young and you're crazy... Oh 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 out of this place
