The time was the 1970s

The place was small town USA

The car was a 73 Mercury Comet

The Destination an 8-Track Weekend

Then on and on they went into the night

And some weekends they had to keep it light

But sometimes they had to get heavy.

Now the world haschanged a lot in the last 40 years

And what was heavy back then may not be considered heavy now.

Because you had speed metal, and thrash metal and folk metal, and dark metal and black metal and Swedish Death Metal and metal that doesn't even exist.

But we had a band called Nazareth

And Nazareth had a song called the hair of the dog.

And I tell you this.

There wasn't anything any heaver in the world than when Dan McCafferty sang.

Now your messing with a son of a bitch.
