Five Iron Frenzy Blue Comb `78 Lyrics

Blue Comb `78 Lyrics

Summer of 1978, 
My sister and I in the back seat just wait. 
We pass the time by making lines in the seat that we can`t cross, 
A thin line like dental floss. 
She threw my new blue comb out the window,
somewhere on I-70. 
Dad said, "I`m sorry, but we can`t go back," 
We`re never going back to get it. 
It was the first comb I ever had. 
Got it just that morning from my mom and my dad. 
Light blue in color, I could never find another, 
comb like that, big and fat... 

So tell me, have you seen my comb? 
Last time I saw it, it was in her hands, 
And then it was bouncing down the road. 
It wasn`t fancy, it wasn`t brown, 
But now it might be from lying on the ground. 
So tell me, have you seen my comb? 

Driving down the road in September, 
I was only five but I still remember, 
Where the highway turns at the bottom of the hill, 
My parents both up front `cause they loved each other still. 
Maybe just a comb made of plastic, 
Or an action of a sibling lacking couth, 
But something that was thrown out that window, 
Was the last great symbol of my youth. 

Have you seen my comb? 
Last time I saw it, it was in her hands, 
And then it was bouncing down the road. 
It wasn`t fancy, it wasn`t brown, 
But now it might be from lying on the ground. 
So tell me, have you seen my comb?
