Song about an old girlfriend years after the breakup.

Artist picture
The Little Achievers blend straight ahead rock and roll, a twist of country and wry, introspective lyrics to form an emotionally charged pop-rock sound.
Imagine if Steve Earle and The Replacements somehow combined their DNA into four sons, then kicked them in the teeth and said "Play rock and roll or your daddies won't love you anymore."

Story behind the song
Sometimes you have to write a song about something to get it to go away. That way it can live on tape and not in your brain.
Lyrics
I barely remember It comes in three flashes Stair steps and lights Lifesavers and fights I know your number But I’ll never call I can’t find your number I’d die for one call We made love Underneath the stars I was her cage She was gnawing at my bars What would I be doing On a deck with you Wearing sweaters at a party Doing what our kind do Your sisters a beauty I’m in love with her Just like your mother The trees were all fir Wooden box with a picture Near the J & B You were holding a gun I was drinking whiskey I barely remember It comes in three flashes Stair steps and lights Lifesavers and fights
