Song : Livin' In Albany
Details
A collection of anecdotes about growing up in Albany, Oregon. As usual with this project, these references are old and might not make sense to anyone who didn't also grow up in the same town in the 1980s.
The vibe for this song is inspired by S.O.D. In particular, the ending is a reference to What's That Noise?
Lyrics
Drivin' in your car you're going down I-5 And something smells like a turd I bet you're always thinkin' that it's Albany It's not... That's Millersburg
I'm getting kind of hungry and I need some food Can you help me, please? To find something greasy and that's really good Let's go to Hasty Freeze
Livin' In Albany
Early in the morning have to go to school At West Albany I think I'm going to skip and go to Audio Addict Corvallis is cool
Hangar 18 is the place to be when you're killing time Video games and playing pool And if you're lucky You'll get in a fight
Livin' In Albany
It's late in the evening have to go to work I'm making Chinese food If you're lucky you might see me sweating in the kitchen That's right, it's Ping's Garden
Lumberjacks, cowboys, new wavers, metal heads This place accepts you all Because there's nothing else to do so you might as well Head out to the Timber Carnival
Livin' In Albany
Ha ha ha ha, get used to it people... You're Livin' In Albany
(Guys, stop. That's the end of the song. No, stop!)
