    Story Behind the Song

    Lyrics
    A small Piedmont town, with a college
    All we were hungry for was carnal knowledge
    Merritt's Esso had the best honey buns--
    Tar on our feet neath the summer sun--

    Tang & gin & Gilligan's Island
    A drunken chorus of This Land Is Your Land
    Pinball & cigarets and Union Hall pool--
    We sure had fun, after school

    You played guitar and I wrote the lyrics
    We'd get high just to tolerate physics
    You dropped out and I marched on--
    Stupid as hell and twice as young

    A preacher's kid and the son of a loner
    Learning french, and gettin boners
    I try to remember, but I'd rather forget
    I Dream of Jeannie on a black & white set

    We sampled the wine of the counter culture
    Wild Irish Rose, and Hamburger Helper
    We never once considered the cost
    We just said Groovy, man, let's get lost--

    Well two went in, and one came out
    I always was the lonliest, cute, cub scout---

    A preacher's kid and the son of a loner
