lyrics

Hey oh, oh hey!

There comes a time in a young man's life
to say goodbye to the things of his youth
To no longer ride a bicycle and maybe shave that beard
and give up trying to play the mandolin
but you don't have to do what those people say to do
so keep on trying to learn the mandolin

You've got some wax for your mustache
and a suit that looks like 1893
you no longer ride a bicycle since you took the Silver Line
and bought yourself a car on Spring Hill Road
There was so much to choose from you were kind of overwhelmed
but you bought yourself a car on Spring Hill Road

So you drive way up Route 7
Winchester and beyond
and then back to the District
to try to find a parking spot

With all the time you save by driving
you've got more time to practice mandolin
your girlfriend got a banjo and your buddy plays a tenor guitar
and the lady next door has got an upright bass
well now you've got a band and an album full of songs
Guess who gets to drive them all to gigs?
Yes, now you get to drive them all to gigs!

Hey oh, oh hey!
