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 old 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 old car and that old girlfriend of mine 

And that's the story about O'Brien blew my mind
