Lyrics for Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts as interpreted by bestrewardisearned

Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts Lyrics
We are the boys from Little Eden
We are the hardest Saturday nights
Drank from the fountains of the fireworks
Sweat and bone for a better life

We like our choruses sung together
We like our arms in our brothers' arms
Call every girl we ever met Maria
But I only love Virginia's heart

And we sing with our heroes thirty-three rounds per minute
We're never going home util the sun says we're finished
And I'll love you forever if I ever love at all
Wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
With wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts

Some things, babe, they never told you
Some things papa doesn't like
Spend a lifetime just to get over
You always said my mama tried

Still we sing with our heroes thirty-three rounds per minute
We're never going home util the sun says we're finished
And I'll love you forever if I ever love at all
Wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
With wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts

So tonight I'll call you from a fourth-street payphone
But I'll sleep on the beach if I ain't got a ride
Someday I'll buy you that house on Cookman
We could sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach if we ain't got a ride
Sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach if we ain't got a ride...

I'm pretty sure the second line is "We are the heart of saturday night" as in the Tom Waits song.

"thirty three rounds per minute" (33RPM) is how fast most vinyl records spin

I saw the gaslight anthem live, and Brian said on stage that this song was about a venue in new jersey called asbury lanes. It's basically a bowling alley with a venue inside.

The song is about the brotherhood that comes with growing up in and around asbury lanes with your best friends.

iamtheadmiral, Asbury lanes is 2 block from Cookman. So, you're probably right.

"You always said my mama tried"

Anyone else think this is a reference to Haggard or The Grateful Dead? Possibly.. ?

the background singing reminds me so much of Sink, Florida, Sink by Against Me! .
