lyrics

I was born in Noranda in 1988 / I was born in
Noranda in 1988 / And there is nothin’ special
‘bout that place / And there is nothin’ special
‘bout that year / Nothin’ special about me

Except that little outlaw that I met two years
ago / Except that little outlaw that I met two
years ago / I was a second hand man before
she stole my soul

First thing I said you keep your hair so short
/ Little girl I see you keep your hair so short
/ Maybe you like girls but that’s all right I like
them too

Tell your Ma I’ll drop my coat in the mud
in front of you / Tell your Ma I’ll drop my
coat in the mud in front of you / Yes I’m old
fashioned; I know what a gentleman should
do

She stood there with a grin, left me without
any clue / She stood there with a grin asking
herself if I knew / That it was her old man
who was singin’ out of tune

She said shut up, show me your pick up and
we’ll see what we can do / Shut up, show me
your pick up and we’ll see what we can do
/ I said I ride a bicycle, hope that’s all right
with you
And she said yeah
