about

dedicated to my dad on his birthday 7/7 <3 love you

lyrics

playing i spy in the back of the car
hundred and three degrees outside
the air won’t work for shit
i don’t mind one bit

too young to have a concept of time
don’t really care if I ever end up
back home again

downtown detroit michigan
streets are flooded with champions
and motown fans
we oughta shake their hands

i just wanna see the stars from the treetops
staying up late and working hard
i know you won’t stop
take little break to play some cards ‘til we wake up

you old night owl

two great lakes below a bridge that sings a song
turn down the music so I can hum along
would you roll the window down?

tape deck tired of you pressing pause
jotting down lyrics as fast as you can
on a yellow legal pad
i know you gave it all you had

remember when you built me a spaceship
from a cardboard box
couple dozen crumpled up tin foil moon rocks
so we could play pretend

i just wanna see the stars from the treetops
staying up late and working hard
i know you won’t stop
take a little break to play some cards ‘til we wake up

you old night owl
