My new purple shoes, bin amazing the people next door
  And my rock'n'roll forty fives, bin enraging the folks on the lower floor
    I got a way with the girls on my block, try my best to be a real individual
  And when we go down to smokies and rock, they line up like it's some kind of ritual
    Oh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair's a disgrace
  Or just find me an open car, I'll make the speed of light out of this place
    I like the good things in life, but most of the best things ain't free
  It's the same situation just cuts like a knife
  When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy
  Young and you're crazy... Oh give me a good guitar
  And you can say that my hair's a disgrace, or just find me an open car
  I'll make the speed of light out of this place
