Well we talked about old times   Like a couple of old guys   And took a little walk to the old baseball diamond   And along came O'Brien   With a guitar in his hand   Met us on the field with impeccable timing      He said I got a new song to show ya   Though it probably ain't gonna blow your mind   And the thing about O'Brien was   He could always make a string buzz like it was 1989   And I remember my first car and that old girlfriend of mine      It was a cracked wooden thing   He said wanna talk about old strings   It's been 10, 12 years since I last changed mine   And it says Sears down the neck   Had a little blood stain on the second fret   But you know it still keeps impeccable timing      And he said I got a brand new song to show ya   Though it probably ain't gonna blow your mind   And the thing about O'Brien was   He could always make a string buzz like it was still 1989   And I remember my first car and that old girlfriend of mine      And that's the story of how O'Brien blew my mind
