Story behind the song
written on my four track .. years ago, in the basement of my parents condo.... before i knew how to fingerpick... sad song.
Lyrics
on top stood a shiny red boat with the biggest sail you ever did see to make me stay on top stood a shiny black car with the biggest engine you ever did see to make me stay but why should i stay? you've only given me the material things on top stands a new stereo with the loudest speakers you ever did see to make me stay on top stands a vintage guitar with the newest strings you ever did see to make me stay but why should i stay? you've only given me the material things. on top stands a little princess in the weirdest dress you ever did see its covered in pretty flowers you're confusing me...(repeat).
