Mix Tape

Jim's Big Ego

Mix Tape



This song could be between any two others

you only hear it when you play it on your mix tape

made for you by your best friend before you left home

you played it all the way to a new town



Mix Tape...



This song could be between two of your favorites

in the middle of the b side of your mix tape

downloaded it from the web burned it onto a disc

bounced it on a cassette cause it's an old car.



Mix Tape - on your Mix Tape

on your Mix Tape - on your Mix Tape



And you don't know what band is playing

and you made up a name to name this song

'cause you lost that piece of paper

now it's just a thing you've made to pass along



Mix Tape



Your cassette player's gone the way of the Dodo

you only keep it now to listen to your mix tapes

'cause all of your cds sound to sterile and clean

all those squeaky little ones and zeros



Mix Tape...



This song could be between any two others

you only hear it when you listen to your mix tape

it does things to your brain takes you back to that day

like a time machine it's future retro



Mix Tape - on your Mix Tape

on your Mix Tape - on your Mix Tape



And I don't know what's wrong with people

who think that music should be locked away

don't they remember when they listened to their mix tapes

which got them into the business in the first place?



This song could be between any two others

you only hear it when you listen to your mix tape

or whatever new gizmos are coming our way

you mix it up for your friends and play



Mix Tape - on your Mix Tape

on your Mix Tape - on your Mix Tape

Mix Tape - on your Mix Tape

on your Mix Tape - on your Mix Tape.
