about

If you were cool enough to get the Recordaré EP while it was available, you already know about this version of 104. Re-cut for North Country Punk, not sure why. This version's a lot punchier, grittier--spitty tube amps and 50 year old guitars… You can really feel the engine grease rubbed into the finish of this song; various whoops and yelps & other signs of things going really well if only you could find a way to let out the clutch without the back end getting all squirrely.

lyrics

Carl's got a Buick and he's built it to the nines
He knows just what to do with it, he's done it many times
Keeps it full of hi-test, runs it one quart short of oil
He don't have much cash in it, just sweat & blood & toil

Louie's got his Plymouth set up light & low & fast
His mom says don't you drive that way, you know you're gonna crash
Buys a plastic figurine, she's doing all she can
To trust her little baby boy into Jesus' plastic hands

(Chorus)
Jesus riding shotgun & the pedal on the floor
Running from the Devil and the cops on 104
Don't you get no ticket, boy, you know you got no cash
If you keep on driving thataway, you know you're bound to crash
Yeah, you know you're gonna crash

Uncle Abner's running goods through Port Ontario
Carl runs the cigarettes through the wind & rain & snow
Carl's got his dignity, you know he can't hold back
When Louie's little Plymouth comes a-caterwauling past

(Chorus)

As they top the graveyard ridge, the snow begins to fly
Louie's in the left-hand lane & someone's bound to die
Abner's coming towards them in his bright red pickup truck
You know this night is gonna end with someone out of luck…

(Chorus)

(Fun drum fill)

(Chorus again, with a little joke this time)

and…

Pow.
