lyrics

I remember my dad used to toss back
a bottle of Schoenling now and then,
about the time we stood on the porch
scanning the stars for John Glenn.
He must've have been about ten years younger
than I am today,
with two kids on the ledger,
and a third kid on the way.

Back in the days of Hi-Fidelity,
Bobby Vinton, and Esquivel,
all the grown-ups, they never let on.
You don't grow up; you just go to hell.

Back in the days of Hi-Fidelity,
Sally Rogers and Buddy Sorrel
all the grown-ups, they never let on.
You don't grow up; you just go to hell.

I remember my mother used to hang
the laundry outside to dry.
One August day the radio blurted,
Marilyn Monroe had died.
I must have been about six or seven,
saving fireflies in a jar,
stayin' up past my bedtime,
watchin' ol' Jack Parr.

Back in the days of Hi-Fidelity,
Ice-blue Secret, and pearls in Prell
all the grown-ups, they never let on.
You don't grow up; you just go to hell.
