Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. more »

I'm only seventeen, but I want much more 
Than a small town girl should bargain for
More than standing in one place, waiting for the next 
James dean I live in a town that's 
Gripped in the bible belt man, I bared my back 
And I took the welts I only pray to get out of here
Maybe someday I'll find out if the world is green 

There is nothing to do in this town at night 
But sit in my car and watch the streetlights
Or stare out the window at the pizza joint 
What's the point? I wish I could buy my ford a sail 

Hey, hey, look at the wind blow 

Now the life of the local beauty queen is 
Tied to the captain of the baseball team 
They got a baby on the way at least that's 
What the kids are saying and the wedding 
I'm told, well it must take place
To save both families from disgrace 
But the whole town knows you see, it ain't like she's not showing 

There is nothing to do in this town at night 
But sit in my car and watch the streetlights
Or stare out the window at the pizza joint 
What's the point? I wish I could buy my ford a sail 

Tommy bates sits in his car and he waits 
For his girl down at lucky's diner 
They're at the end of the loop and he's drinking soup 
While she puts on more eyeliner 
I passed them once, and I'll pass them twice
And I'll pass them back again they bought 
An old range rover from the next town over
And their headlights are my friends
Yeah, those headlights are my friends
