Intro: (play twice)
Well we talked about old times
Like a couple of old guys
And took a little walk to the old baseball diamond
And along came O'Brien with a guitar in his hand
Met us on the field with impeccable timing
He said "I got a new song to show ya
"Though it prob'ly ain't gonna blow your mind"
And the thing about O'Brien was
He could always make a string buzz like it was still 19 89
And I remembered that old car
And that old girlfriend of mine
It was a cracked wooden thing
He said "Wanna talk about old strings?
"It's been 10, 12 years since I last changed mine"
And it said Sears down the neck
Had a little blood stain on the 2nd fret
But you know it still keeps impeccable time
And he said "I got a brand new song to show ya
"Though it prob'ly ain't gonna blow your mind"
And the thing about O'Brien was (Repeat)
He could always make that string buzz
Like it was still 19 89
And I remembered that old car
And that old girlfriend of mine
And that's the story of how O'Brien blew my mind
