One for the Cutters The Hold Steady

When there weren't any parties, she'd park by the quarry
Walk into the woods until she came to a clearing
Where townies would gather and drink until blackout
Smoke cigs till they're sick, pack bowls, and then pass out

Windows wide open to let the hard rock in
Theirs was a rage that didn't need much convincing
The girls gave her glares, but the boys were quite pleasant
To be perfectly honest, they didn't seem much different

When there weren't any parties
Sometimes she'd party with townies

Out on the parkways after the parties
It was always arousing when they'd rev up their engines
It's hard to describe, so she kept it a secret
The girls that she lived with, they knew nothing about it

The night with the fight and the butterfly knife
Was the first night she spent with that one guy she liked
She gave him a ride to some kid's house in Cleveland
He stayed there for two weeks, the cops finally found him

He didn't seem that different except for that blood on his jacket
He didn't seem that different except for maybe his haircut
He didn't seem much different
