about

While passed out in the Strip Club alleyway Tucker dreams of two different moments past from his recently deceased relationship. As TDB flashes back to the way that it used to be he subverts the whole vision into that of star crossed lovers, entirely too blinded by love to read the writing on the wall.

Co-Starring: Danielle Payne as Ex Girlfriend

lyrics

Back In The Day...Way Back In The Day...
Back In The Day...Way Back In The Day...

Verse:
Picked her up at 6...Went and had some dinner...
Then we caught a flick (it wasn't a winner)...
After it was over we hit The Promenade
People were break dancing and playing the guitar
As we stopped to watch a crowd began to form
The breakers started breakin' and that guitar got
TORRRN UP! And the crowd was like 'What?'
Their hype man steps up shouting "Throw yer dollars up!"
He pulls out a bucket and moves throughout the crowd
Everybody's throwing money in
We're all like 'Wow!
I bet they've got at least a couple hundred in that bucket
For 25 minutes of work and then...Fuck It!
We could do whatever and get paid for it
Scoring every day off of the tourists
We could play outside the theater
Or even Ben and Jerry's...Singing 60's tunes
With the strawberry smoothie on my hip
Axe up in my hands...Choppin' it like this
Catch me if you can! Yo! What's up my man?
Can you spare a buck or two
For the President of The Loop...Mr. Tucker Booth!
And this is Mrs. Boo, she sings in the band
And grandstands every night at the kissing booth, man!
And between me and you I'm absolutely guaranteeing you
This girl is the one so we'll probably be seeing you
At our wedding...in the next year or two
Could you ever picture her ending up with a weirder dude?
I know, I know, but I'm working on the drinkin'
And chasing all the women...I need a new religion
Like getting off the couch and killing the television
And writing more lyrics and being one with the Great Spirit....

Chorus:
Why can't it go back to the way that it used to be? When you were my Angel Dove...
My Mrs. Booth to me...
When we were so in love there was nothing they could to me that would ever make me change
The way I felt about you and me...
We used to have so much fun...
Tomfoolery...
Rapping at The Cooler
With Huggie Brown and Peter Seay...
Jon G, Doc S, and Intellect Emcee...
Pristine Raps with That Old Ingenuity...
and waking up next to You was still new to me...
and the love that you professed was true blue to me...
Before it became all this and you blew the scene...
Why can't we stay there forever
and never change a thing?

Verse:
We were in your room
Laying on your bed
We started making out
I tried to get some head
You told me "Ease up..." you just wanted to cuddle
Our hearts were racing fast and
I could feel the puddle
In between your legs
Underneath your chest
Holding on so tight with my head on your breasts
Finally we caught our breath and melted into each other
Two becoming One...My Forever Lover...
We opened up your window and looked up at the stars
Through a telescope...You said "There's Ours!"
It was shining brighter than all of the others
Then another appeared and began to hover
By the other star and slowly started movin'
Until the two stars combined and made a new one
You were all lit up watchin' our stars crossin'
Your eyes were pure amber
Your smile was peach blossoms
I took a deeper look and saw me in your eyes
I wasn't even drunk and hadn't been high
In well over a month...
Got my act together...
Our love was burning bright and
I was starting to get better...
All the other girls...they just disappeared
You eclipsed them all right then and there
Took you in my arms and whispered in your ear,
"This moment we're in now, nothing changes here!"
You were my buttercup
Soft, Sweet, Symphony...
Hottest girl I had ever seen and
You were into me
Said a silent prayer to God
'Thank you for my baby...
I crave her like air, I swear she's gonna save me!'

Maybe....

Back In The Day, Way Back In The Day...
Back In The Day, Way Back In The Day...
