about

one of the first Gobloots songs. In fact it's the first track on the very first album, the long forgotten Gobloots Memorial Highway, circa 2007
based on the thursday night bible study my dad tried to stick to at one point in his life. so of course I had to as well. I was really into Jesus when I was younger. At least the idea. Still am I guess on some days.

lyrics

We drank cold coffee in a bible study
It was an auto body shop by day and
A church every thursday
The youngest son banged on a drum like a champion
While his father played guitar
And the mother banged on a tambourine and praised the lord
In and out of key
The oldest one did nothing
He just stuck to his seat

Dad said boy don’t make fool out of me
Son said Dad don’t get wrong I just don’t feel like singing.

They gathered all us kids into a living room
Soda in every cup and every eye on the good word
Videos of cartoons of Jesus Christ on the cross
Hoping none of us kids get lost

Look at the body they drew on Mother Mary
Look at the red in the savior’s side
Although you’re stunting your growth
Drinking coffee made you feel so grown as a child

I drank cold coffee in a bible study
Ten years later in a church
All my friends from the body shop
All got jobs and keep what they earn
If the youngest son stuck to the drum
He must play like a God
It’s no sacriledge its the way it was meant
The way the lord waves its magic wand

Can only think of we’ve all grown
We all used to be innocent smiles
Though we stunted our growth
Drinking coffee made you feel so grown as a child.
