Petty & Cobain

Working at my father's record shop when I was seventeen
And you walked in
Dressed in faded Levi's and a worn out leather jacket
Your hair all messed up from the wind
Don't pay attention to that boy
I heard my mama's voice whispering in my mind
But we spent that whole summer
Riding up and down the coast on your motorbike

And we played Petty and Cobain
And we listened to Champagne Supernova
And No Rain
Every single time I hear Dave Matthews on the radio
I think of you
Oh I think of you

Sitting drinking lattes in a dark and moody coffee shop
At twenty-two
You left your number on my napkin when you served me at table
And I couldn't help but smile at you
We explored the city from the backseat of the bus
Cuz neither one of us could buy a car
You played in a band and I watched you every Thursday
From that tiny dark and smoky bar

You played Seven Nation Army
Kings of Leon, Use Somebody
You played Deathcab for Cutie
Every single time I hear Jack Johnson on the radio
I think of you
Oh I think of you

I pick up my guitar and I can play a couple bars
And I'm taken to another time and place
To another face I remember
Oh I remember you

And I play Petty and Cobain
And I listen to Champagne Supernova
And No Rain
And every single time I hear those songs on the radio
I think you
Oh I think of you
