Can't Hardly Wait by The Replacements

This is the song from which the one of my favorite teen movies got it's title from. I saw and fell in love with the movie even before becoming a Replacements fan.

I just love how Paul Westerberg writes songs. Simple, funny, truthful and bears weight


I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a crack in the drapes

Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes

See you're high and lonesome
Try and try and try

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a hole in the drapes
I'll be home when I'm sleeping
I can't hardly wait

I can't wait. Hardly wait.
