their old blue car we used to race

a little country store, with a sign tacked to the side

| This is the craziest song I've heard live from PJ. I saw them in Montreal, 2006/09/15 and it was amazing. Boom's solo was superb and the crowd went crazy. Beautiful song... | |

| This song reminds me of Bruce Sprinsteen songs. It uses a character named Mary, takes about car racing, and makes daily events look like folk-lore. It seems to be writen in the same style as alot of Springsteen songs aswell. | |

| I'm with Bellyfull on this one completely. I think the narrator was the driver. It shows irony. I rather this song on the Live at the Garden DVD, mainly because it doesn't have those horrible backing vocals. Also, Boom's solo is great. | |
