lyrics

All the ice cream trucks came out today
And the springtime in the Village let them stay
So they made a barricade around the square
For to feast upon the young 'uns who were there
So I stepped into a bar and thought it hip to leave some sugar on my lips
Mmhmm
And with a lady and a six string in his hand
Stood my favorite faded blue-jean one-man band
And he was singing:

I am young and old as open wine
Love me like it's 1929

All the smoke and joking in the air,
Well it mingles with the springtime of my hair
Oh you know that I can pick and sing just fine
All the better just as long as he ain't mine
For though he sings just fine he won't recall
Anything he sang tonight at all
And though he looks my way he cannot see me
Oh them handsome eyes they mean too much to me
And so I'm singing:

I am young and old as open wine
Love me like it's 1929

And every drifted dreamer with a dime
Will swear he loves me like it's 1929
