lyrics

Well somewhere in the summertime in 1993
Bought a big ol chevy van, eight other guys and me
Ran around to a bunch o towns, hit a couple o bad ones too
And I kept em all inside of me, until I knew just what to do

I got to change my name to Guthrie and the writing’s on the wall
Change my name to Guthrie yeah and I won’t feel so small
Change my name to Guthrie grab this whole world by the balls
Change my name to Guthrie, tho no one would really care too much at all

Right around the same time, I moved to Brooklyntowne
Found a brand new playground where I could mess around
I spent a lotta nights walkin 42nd street, ya know sometimes I got lucky
But most times I got beat

That’s why I gotta change my name to Guthrie and the writing’s on the wall
Change my name to Guthrie yeah and I won’t feel so small
Change my name to Guthrie grab this whole world by the balls
Change my name to Guthrie, tho no one would really care too much at all.

Well Woody wrote a song about the great Grand Coulee Dam
Sung it to the workers all across this land
Now I ain’t even qualified to sing about Afganistan
So I came up with this plan...

And it ain’t half assed bad, right?

Said I got to change my name to Guthrie and the writing’s on the wall
Change my name to Guthrie yeah and I won’t feel so small
Change my name to Guthrie grab this whole world by the balls
Change my name to Guthrie, tho no one would really care too much at all
