Sherry<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nSherry, you stole my stereo
\nmy dog Bill, my car and my Mac
\nYou can keep the rest of it
\nbut I’m here to tell you
\nI’m gonna get that Corvette back<\/p>\n
Give me back my Stingray<\/span>
\nand I’ll let your sister go<\/span>
\nShe followed me from Austin<\/span>
\nbut she’ll go home<\/span>
\nif I’m the one that tells her so…<\/span><\/p>\nAll the way through high school
\nI was the one who was supposed to break your heart
\nthen we settle down
\nand you get bored and
\nyou tear our world apart<\/p>\n
Give me back my <\/span>Stingray<\/span>…<\/span><\/p>\nI thought that we were happy
\nthat just goes to show you what I know
\nI thought I changed all the locks
\nbut I missed that one, you and your tweaker friend
\ntook everything I owned<\/p>\n
Give me back my <\/span>Stingray<\/span>
\nand I’ll let your sister go<\/span>
\nShe followed me from Austin<\/span>
\nbut she’ll go home<\/span>

model of the Corvette sports car as well as a ‘banana-seated’ Schwinn bicycle, a short profile, chopper-barred bike that held a hegemonic grip on America’s youth in that far-off decade. I sort of wanted to capture the sense of a couple of kids fighting over a Stingray, one of them tugging on the handlebars, the other pulling hard on the ‘chicken bar’ on the back of the long seat.<\/p>\n\n
