I met this girl at a Madison punk rock show
she made fun of all the boys from my hometown
to tell the truth she made me laugh
she had their weaknesses down pat
and her little digs
made me smile
when I hadn't in a while
and she said

she likes the fast songs best
now I think I like her too
she's a helluva girl
but I'm leaving town so soon
and I didn't have the courage then
but I thought of her the whole way home
when I shoulda been thinking of you

I met this girl at a Madison punk rock show
heard she's the kind of girl who gets around
she doesn't care what people say
she's gonna live her life her way
and she's awfully blunt with no tact
you gotta like a girl like that

now I feel the same everytime
I think she's gotta a beautiful name
and I think she's just my thing

and the look in her eyes
it was the angle of her smile
and I thought of the girls
that I've known
and they seemed so long ago
now I know

that I like the fast songs best
and I think she likes me too
I like the fast girls best
they do whatever they wanna do
and I couldn't find the words just then
but I thought of her the whole way home
when I shoulda been thinking of you
