Pre-order Listen: Vinyl CD: Amazon: Apple Music: Spotify: Pandora: Tidal: Deezer: LYRICS: I woke up in a truck stop parking lot A girl in a red white and blue halter top was staring Thick glasses like mine And a low bored monotone vocal fry She said, who’s the band on the bus? What bus? That one, nerd. The one that you got off of Oh - Probably no one you’ve heard of Don’t know what came over me As I awkwardly dropped my room key I said I think that’s yours And three hours later I was banging this verse out Oh no - head meet floor I don’t wanna do this no more Every kiss is a jam band solo Never gonna say YOLO no mo’ My mind says no My body says hell no Let this be over Exhausting lover Not sure if she couldn’t stop Or if she wouldn’t stop As the motel carpet gave me five more raw spots What’s that stabbing my back? Ah, that’s a wire from her halter top There was an hour where her head kept banging Against the bottom of a table top I saw my life in a split screen But life’s just one shot What the hell would I tell my girlfriend But the thing is she’s not my girlfriend anymore I traded it all for some third degree carpet burn Oh no - head meet floor I don’t wanna do this no more Every kiss is a jam band solo Never gonna say YOLO no mo’ My mind says no My body says hell no Let this be over Exhausting lover Then she handed me a hot wheels track I said, girl that’s pretty weird Where did you get that? She said never mind that Here nerd beat my ass in the bath like my dad did When I was a bad kid I said, nah what’s this! Let me up out of the Motel Six And tell me where my pants went That’s when I heard the door breaking It wasn’t housekeeping It was her boyfriend Don’t know what came over me Out the door in my boxer briefs Some dude live tweeted As I ran half-naked past a Cracker Barrel Oh no - head meet floor I don’t wanna do this no more Every kiss is a jam band solo Never gonna say YOLO no mo’ My mind says no My body says hell no Let this be over Exhausting lover Director - Derek Waters Choreographer - Kathryn Burns Producer - MK Kopp Director of Photography - Jason Tippet Art Directors - Tabitha Camp and Molly Stricker Editor - John Cason Costume Designer - Bonny Green First Assistant Director - Mila Vilaplana Script Supervisor - Tori Hunter “Young Ben“ - Matthew Rich “Viola“ - Ashley Jean Nolan “Fox“ / Assistant Choreographer - William Harris III “Bear“ / “Becky“ - Chelsea “Solace“ Hough “Skunk“ / “Boyfriend“ - JaVonte’ Marquez “Rabbit“ - Lyrica Woodruff “Stage Hands“ - Sierra Berger, Kelvin Chambliss, MacKenzie Lee, Molly Stricker 1st Assistant Camera - Jonathan Medina Camera Operator - Carl McLaughlin 2nd Assistant Camera - Caitlin Rivera Crane Camera Operator - Brian Skinner Crane Technician - David Lowe Crane 2nd Assistant Camera - Stephen Johnson Data Manager - Maria Valletta Camera Production Assistant - Ryann Bauguess Gaffer - Jarrett Jarvis Best Boy - Dylan Mire Grip - Chris Dyer, Skyler Sims Playback - Emily Phillips Set Production Assistant - Gabby Mulisano Sound Mixer - Hunter Vickers Hair & Makeup - Mira Gonzalez Hair & Makeup Assistant - Helena Green Colorist - Jack Caswell Special Thanks Nashville Children’s Theater Nashville Repertory Theater dbV Rentals The Franklin Theatre Southern Grist Brewing Company
