We're An American Band Lyrics
Driving in the south, the motor's on fire
Let's put it out before the flames go higher
Monday Matinee, "Big Bully" or "White Squall"
So hard to choose, wish we could see them all
Some college in the spring, the sound is all wrong
We set the mains to our favorite Hootie song
Driving (not again), an 8 car crash
We'll turn to look unless we're going too fast
Let's put it out before the flames go higher
So hard to choose, wish we could see them all
We set the mains to our favorite Hootie song
We'll turn to look unless we're going too fast

I've never really paid attention to the lyrics. The tone of the vocals are so warm and dreamy. The guitar is wild.
There's a funny moment in a bootleg I have where someone requests this song and YLT play the Grand Funk Railroad song of the same name.
Pretty sure it's "Monday Matinee, 'Big Bully' or 'White Squall'"...two movies that came out while they were recording the album.
And then it's "so hard to choose, wish we could see them all"
I absolutely love this guitar solo, only parts of Blue Line Swinger compare to its quality, for my ears anyway.
Definitely one of their best. I'd say Pablo and Andrea's solo is right up there too.

these lyrics are very wrong
The lyrics to this song are like a haiku. The briefest of brushstrokes to suggest an atmosphere.
