One Was Wild Five Was a Crowd

[Verse 1] Met her after soundcheck, denim and lace She said “You play guitar?” I said “Mostly with my face” Took her back to the van, turned the AC low Ten minutes later, she forgot her zip code [Pre-Chorus] She said “Rick, what was that?” I said “That, baby… was art” She said “Do it again” — I said “Give me five” To crush up some viagra and come back alive [Chorus] One was wild, two was tight Three was trouble in the middle of the night Four was heaven, five was a crowd Too many dudes and they all were loud Still I rise, still I’m proud But five was a crowd… five was a crowd [Verse 2] Three-way at a truck stop, stall number three I thought it was love — turned out it was speed One had a tattoo that said “Born to Kneel” The other said “You’re okay” and meant it, I feel [Pre-Chorus 2] Backstage four-way, fog and flair Two were cousins, no one cared I said “Are we good?” — they said “You’re fine” Then took selfies while I flatlined [Chorus] One was wild, two was tight Three was legal but morally light Four was glorious, five got weird I lost my pants and someone cheered Still I rock, still I’m loud But five was a crowd… five was a crowd [Bridge] You know that moment when you realize you’re not the lead in the scene anymore? You’re just the lighting guy… holding a ring light… and crying. [Final Chorus] One was fire, two was art Three left me with a racing heart Four was magic, five was too much Too many hands and not enough touch Still I stroke, still I’m proud But five was a crowd… five was a crowd But five was a crowd… five was a crowd
