Story Behind The Song
A song about growing up a woman in our North American world; objectified, over-sexualized, and without a place to go or a backup plan. It leaves an empty feeling of hopelessness and helplessness.
In these moments, sometimes the only temporary solace that can be found is in a late-night drive, windows down, music up.

Lyrics
You're sixteen
Wet dream
Objectified
Beauty queen
It's nineteen
eighty six
Wish you were
Stevie Nix
Tape player
In your car
Convinced it will
Take you far
Dropped out
Senior year
Gas station
Late night beer
Why bother trying?
Why bother at all?
Why bother trying?
Why bother at all?
Eighteen
Years old
Mini skirt
Struck gold
You're the hottest
In the band
Some guy just
Grabbed your hand
Why bother trying?
Why bother at all?
Why bother trying?
Why bother at all?
Hair's all over
Late night air
Windows down
Hit the snare
Why bother trying?
Why me, me?
Why bother trying?
Why me, me?
