It was my first time runnin' away from home   And I didn't have any money back then   And I didn't really have anywhere I could go   My friend in Vincennes had the first Dinosaur 7"   And it had their address right on the back of it      So I decided that I should go see J   I'd see what he had to say   Maybe he had some advice for me   And I read in this interview that he did   That he still lived in the same house as when he was a kid      I traded in my electric guitar for this one   It was a piece of junk    And I traded it for this piece of junk   I started to learn how to play just a little bit each day   I think it's the best decision I've ever made      I packed my car and I drove to the east coast   I didn't think I was comin' home   It was my first time on the road   I pulled into Amherst in the middle of the night   And right away by accident found his street sign      And there was his name written above the door   With a wagon in the driveway   I had found the place for sure   And I decided that I should not bother him   Besides I really didn't want to pull back that curtain      I hung out for a few days and I got to see them play   In this tiny little place and it was the perfect show   And as J soloed I started to miss my friends   I clicked my heels together and said,   "There's no place like home"
