In this episode, Los Angeles’ Tucker Booth shares the lyrics and story for his song “Christy Montana” off his upcoming album “Bum Rap.”

The song ‘Christy Montana’ was originally written as a last minute anniversary gift for the protagonist of the song. I had been in love with Christina aka Christy Montana for over 3 years and when this song came into existence I was hard pressed to come up with a quality 3 year anniversary gift on a starving artist, street busker budget. So I asked the angels to write me a love song. And this was what transpired.

As you can see from the lyrics the chorus is not necessarily hopeful and upbeat. At this point in our relationship Christy and I had reached an impasse that both of us instinctually knew would be our undoing. The lines ‘What did you say? Is this love?’ are a direct reflection of the ambiguity and insecurity that we were dealing with at the time. That said, the upbeat strum pattern mixed with the emo hook makes for a sort of Ryan Adams meets The Pixies vibe that persists through the earnest 3 1/2 minute duration.

Christy Montana

Verse:
I like your chain
Your nice cocaine
And I like your platinum plaque
I like your trucker hat
I like your wrestling mat
And I like your leather straps…

Chorus:
Where do we go?
What do we do?
What did you say?
Is this love?
Where do we go?
What do you want?
Am I the one you really want?

Christina…
Christy Montana…
Christina…
Christy Montana…

Verse:
And I like your mom
Your sake bomb
And I like your pretty dress
I like your natural breasts
I like your lack of dreads
And I like your taste in men (well, i used to…)

Chorus:
Where do we go?
What do we do?
What did you say?
Is this love?
Where do we go?
What do you want?
Am I the one you really want?

Christina…
Christy Montana…
Christina…
Christy Montana…
