about

This is an autobiographical song about this girl I met in Abbeville, SC. I was playing my first show ever by myself that night, and I saw two girls come out of the pizza shop next door. So I asked them to come see me play and tried to introduce myself. This girl replied with, "I don't shake hands." This song was born.

lyrics

I don't care that you don't care
I could smell the magic in the air
I could see them standin' in the square
Her friend was blonde, and she had brown hair
I was always one to take a chance, but this girl
wouldn't even shake my hand
I met this girl in Abbeville who said she doesn't shake hands and she never will
make new friends, she's just some chick that follows trends
I can't even remember her name
Ah hell I can't even remember her face
Oh well you can't win 'em all
You can't get high if you're too scared to fall
But I don't know what I did wrong
Now she's just some lines in a song
I don't know, it's not fair
She squealed tires gettin' out of there...

Wine, women, and song. If it sounds like a recipe for disaster, it's probably because it is.
