Story Behind The Song

If ever you decide to go on tour in the mountains of Western North Carolina with a chick from NYC who has never been out of NYC and she suggests that to save money, you bring a tent and camp instead of paying for hotels....say no. Or else have a muddy, buggy, and...okay, so, pretty fabulous, fun and crazy adventure!

Song Description

2 chicks on tour in the mountains during the rainy season...getting soaked and being rock stars just for having that Empire State license plate on their Subaru!

Lyrics

Our Subaru was bathed in mud
Our sleeping bags were soggy
We were not smelling like we should
Feeling rather groggy
But our tent was stowed we were on the road
We came here to play
There'll be no lolly-gagging
We've got three more shows today

Making music in the mountains
Its a grand adventure
Its biscuits in our bellies
And grits that can't be beat
Making music in the mountains
Means sleeping 'neath the stars
Haven't found a reason yet
To return to Bleecker Street

Steve was quite a vision
Paisley shirt, VW bus
From the look on his whiskered face
He dug the look of us
He said come on home for dinner girls
My wife would like you too
We said thank you kindly Steve
We've got way too much to do

Making music in the mountains
It's a grand adventure
It's bug bites on our bottoms
And sunburn on our feet
Making music in the mountains
Means sleeping 'neath the stars
Haven't found a reason yet
To return to Bleecker Street

It's six a.m. we're singing our songs
At the local radio station
Admittedly not a frequency
Heard across the nation
But later that night at the barbeque pit
Our waitress said with a start
Aren't you those two rock stars
I heard on my way to the Walmart?

Making music in the mountains
It's a grand adventure
It's nature without boundaries
And the people are so neat
Making music in the mountains
Means sleeping 'neath the stars
Haven't found a reason yet
To return to Bleecker Street
No we haven't found a reason yet
To return to Bleecker Street
