[Spoken Intro — Male — Low, Dry — Guitar and Kick Start Immediately] Nineteen seventy-one. Scorpio. You were saying? [Female — Smoky, Amused] I said behave. [Full Band — Heavy Stomp, Dirty Slide Guitar] [Verse 1 — Male — Rhythmic, Gravelly] House key swinging on a string Home before the streetlights blink Made our plans without a phone Missed the bus and walked back home Tape deck chewing my favourite song Pencil in the reel, keep winding on First car needed a push to start Learned to swear and change the parts [Female — Dry] Still got the language. [Pre-Chorus — Male — Building] Learned a little the expensive way Got a few debts that I’ve long since paid Now the keys and the time are mine You’re at the door with that look in your eye [Chorus — Male Lead — Female Low Harmonies] Born in seventy-one Got some miles, got some bite Gen X, black boots Still turning up on a work night Scorpio I don’t give much away But when I’m in, I’m all in And you know I’m gonna stay Born in seventy-one Got a good thing going And I’m far from done [Post-Chorus — Female — Smoky] Far from done. [Male — Low] You know it. [Verse 2 — Male — Half-Spoken, Easy Swagger] Left that title on an office door Got a dozen things worth getting up for Half a book and a brand-new song An old V8 I keep working on You walk in, I forget that line Same woman, still lose track of time Say, “Get your coat, I’ve found a place” I know that smile spreading over your face [Female — Close, Teasing] You should know better. [Male — Dry] So should you. [Pre-Chorus — Male — Rising] We’ve had words and we’ve held our ground Learned when to let the other come around You know the things I don’t say out loud Still reach for me in a crowded house [Chorus — Male Lead — Female Harmonies, Full Band] Born in seventy-one Got some miles, got some bite Gen X, black boots Still turning up on a work night Scorpio I don’t give much away But when I’m in, I’m all in And you know I’m gonna stay Born in seventy-one Got a good thing going And I’m far from done [Instrumental Break — Eight Bars — Snarling Slide Guitar, Driving Bass, Heavy Drums] [Bridge — Male — Bass and Kick Only] If you need me, make that call Three in the morning, boots and all I’ll give you hell about the hour Then have you home before the shower [Female — Dry, Close] And tell that story for a year. [Male — Spoken] Well, you’re still here. [Build — Male — Drums Return] Got little hands pulling me down the hall Got somewhere new circled on the wall Got a woman who can call my bluff And a head full of “what if” That won’t shut up [Female — Rising, Smoky] Get your coat. [Final Chorus — Male Lead — Strong Female Harmonies] Born in seventy-one Got some miles, got some bite Gen X, black boots Still turning up on a work night Scorpio I don’t give much away But when I’m in, I’m all in And you know I’m gonna stay Born in seventy-one Got a good thing going And I’m far from done [Outro — Heavy Riff, Slide Guitar Answers] [Female] Far from done. [Male] Born in seventy-one. [Female] You coming? [Male — Spoken, Low] Thought you said behave. [Female — Spoken, Close] I changed my mind. [Final Full-Band Hit — Hard Stop] [Final Slide Guitar Hit — Hard Stop]
