Remember last summer when we had the chance
To find each other, started makin' romance?
But it didn't come off, 'cause you found another
Without one hand of the clock, what good is the other?

And I can't find no true love, oh, baby, it's so hard
And I still think about you every time I'm ridin' in my car

Well I went to the place where everybody hangs out
To see what everybody was talkin' about
And over in the corner, all alone with you
Was the boy from last summer singin' songs to you

And he can't sing like I can sing, oh, it's so hard
And I still think about you every time I'm ridin' in my car
(Ridin' in my car)

Oh, when I'm home alone, I can think of other things to do
But when I'm rollin' in forward motion, I think about only you

It's been a year and a day since I talked to you
I don't know how I made it, but I sure have been blue
And every time I think of how it might have been
I jump in my car and start ridin' again

Even if NRBQ never recorded another song after this, they still would have been immortalized just by this song alone. A perfectly pure and unpretentious three-minute rock and roll song. Amazing.

crlchs

Plus it's got that wonderful Tommy Ardolino beat. 3/4 of the sound of NRBQ.

zebipbamboom

I mean he was right on it. Right on it. Always. But I'm giving him ¼ not ¾. Together they were NRBQ. All the same input. Are you going to take something away from Terry? Al? Joey? Nope, nope, nope. But Tommy was amazing. What a band.

John Schreiber

Couldn't agree more Edwin.
