Sister Golden Hair
When I was a kid
I wanted to hear the rest of “Sister Golden Hair” so bad
I watched those ’70s-themed infomercials with the giant CD packs
I wanted to be those people
I couldn’t find the song anywhere so when the commercial came on
I lost my ever-loving mind
Screaming, “America!”
I wanted to look like them
Dance like them
Play guitar like them
God damn, I still want too
I would turn on classic radio and just wait all day
To record every song I loved
On my cassette tape
