The Golden Age

Today I was driving around listening to some music and a song I had never heard came on.   I'm not sure I even made it through the first singing of chorus before I started laughing out loud. It was one of those moments when I was glad I have a blog to share this with all of you. Read the lyrics.

We drove right past

That no trespassing sign

We sat on the tailgate

And watched the planes take off

We thought we had all night

There was no need to rush

That's when those cops

Came pulling up

And I thought

Man, ain't this some shhhh

[Bridge:]

Your daddy's gonna kill me

But if I survive tonight

I wouldn't change one thing

Baby, yeah

I know it sounds crazy

[Chorus:]

But there was somethin bout the way

The blue lights were shinin

Bringing out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watching you

Going wild child

To be worried about going to jail

You were thinking that

Running for it

Would make a good story

I was thinking you were crazy as hell

And you were so

Innocent

But you were stealing my heart

I fell in love in the back of a cop car

Man, they weren't playin

They sure threw those cuffs on quick

You tried to sweet talk 'em

They didn't fall for it

But I did

You were on the left

I was on the right

I knew you didn't smoke

When you asked him for a light

And I laughed

He got mad and slammed the door

[Repeat Bridge]

[Repeat Chorus]

Side by side

And locked in tight

They were taking their time

But we didn't mind

We talked

And we laughed

We sat real close

By the time they let us go

I was already gone

At first I thought it was a really bad commercial and then I thought it was sarcastic/satire...it isn't.  Yes, this was actually on the radio.  Yep.  We live in a golden age people, a golden age of music.  I think that this would be an Awesome theme song for a reality tv show!  I mean we also live in the golden age of tv, where shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Keeping Up with Kardashian's are prime time shows.  I can completely see that chorus leading into a shot of a woman detailing the beginning of her relationship, stars in her eyes, or maybe just the reflection of the infamous blue lights.  You know it would be a hit.  Haha, I'm sorry, every time I look at the lyrics I chuckle some more!  Welcome to the Golden Age!
