about

Another attempt at romance pop for the middle-aged. What if you put 'fall in love again' on your bucket list? And why not? Sounds like a damn good time to me. I imagined Walter Clevenger & The Dairy Kings impersonating Rockpile impersonating NRBQ.

lyrics

Grab my bucket list, grab a pen
Cross off the part that says “Fall in love again”
Not cuz I don’t wanna, I find it kinda strange
But ever since I met you girl my outlook’s changed
Nothing on my list looks quite the same
Cuz next to every item I’ve amended your name

You're on my bucket list
Tell me girl if you got the gist 
Where it says "fall in love again"
I'll replace it with your name
And check off the other stuff I missed
Cuz you're the only thing that matters
On my bucket list.

Well my friends all told me I was goin’ through a phase
Thinkin‘ ‘bout this kinda stuff and acting my age
I assumed that love forever passed me by
Until a frisky little philly kinda caught my eye
And look at the adventures we’re about to share
Girl it’s all because of you that every item’s there

You're on my bucket list
Tell me girl if you got the gist 
Where it says "fall in love again"
I'll replace it with your name
And check off the other stuff I missed
Cuz you're the only thing that matters
On my bucket list. (LET'S KICK IT!)
