The Gaslight Anthem – Miles Davis and the Cool Lyrics 16 years ago
"Your daddy's aim is true" is probably a reference to Elvis Costello's My Aim is True.
The rest of the lyric borrows heavily from Bruce Springsteen's "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)", when Bruce sings "Now I know your mama she don't like me 'cause I play in a rock and roll band/And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand".
Also, "we might always be blue" could be in reference to Miles's classic Kind of Blue.
