Courtship Memories

Its the past we adore,
because we think everything interesting has already come before
And of course we focus on the story
itself, conveniently ignore the source
Together we like to dream of life in a simpler time
At a sock sock sock hop
We'd neck till we kick our socks socks socks off

"Put your hands on the small of my back" she says
"Twirl me around but behave like a gentlemen"
She's looking for a man just like her father

She says "Come on over, I will play piano,
you can play the part of the gentlemen caller"
So I open the door and I pull out her chair

So we explore,
we flip through magazines that document the eras that we want to know
And whats more we know our parents lived life to the fullest
As they Hitchhiked though truck stops
Soda Jerks & Hobby Shops

"Put your hands on my hip and let's dance" she says
"Twirl me around but treat me like a lady"
She's looking for a man just like her brother

She says "Come on over,
I will play piano, you can try to win my fathers favor"
So I open the door and I pull out her chair
