    Coming back to this in 2024. One of my favorite songs of theirs.

    Lyrically one of the most slept-on rock songs in existence.

    Seen Switchfoot at a small church in Kenmore Ohio back in 1999 when this song was “coming out on their new album.” I think I was 18 or 19. After the show, Chad (the drummer) came outside and was skateboarding and hanging out. I was wearing Soaps, which are tennis shoes that had grind plates in the middle that came out in California but the band had never seen them yet, even though they were out of San Diego. He asked to try them out, which I immediately allowed. Was fun watching him slide down the steps of the church with my shoes and hanging out that night. The whole band was super friendly and cool. One of my favorite memories.

      I met the band when I was working for a radio station in Tulsa about ten years ago. I picked the guys up from the airport and was so incredibly nervous. I couldn’t believe I had Jon Foreman in our company car! lol

    Mike was right when he said; I'd put up
    A fight to be someone
    A fight to be me
    But see now I'm down
    Under the pavement
    Of capital hills and lowercase people
    As time rolls by my dreams have become
    That which is attainable
    Not what I'm looking for
    I've got the company car
    I'm the one swinging at two below par
    Yeah, I've become one with the ones
    That I've never believed in
    But I've got the company car
    Hey, I'm the king of things I've always despised
    I'm the ginger-bread man
    Who got eaten alive
    I'm half-baked, I'm fake
    But see I got hotels on
    Park Place and Boardwalk
    And two hundred bucks
    I pass "Go" but, oh, Life's taken it's toll
    Have I won Monopoly to forfeit my soul?
    But see
    I've got the company car
    I'm the one swinging at two below par
    Yeah, I've become one with the ones
    That I've never believed in
    But I've got the company car, yeah
    All the kings horses
    At the foot of the wall
    They're taking pictures of
    The man who's lost all of his
    Masks of pretension
    He's got two faces left
    His is the one that he hides
    On the left
    Behind that smile
    Hiding tears and fear
    That burns like an engine
    It drives him away
    From the ones that he loves
    Mike was right
    Hey, Mike
    We're one and the same
    We're the faceless combatants
    In the loneliest game
    Ah, but say
    I'll wave as I'm driving by
    With that smirk in my eye
    Yelling "Hey, I'm something man, check me out!"
    I've got the company car
    I'm the one swinging at two below par
    Yeah, I've become one with the ones
    That I've never believed in
    But I've got the company car (I've got the company car)
    Yeah, check me out
    I've got the company car (I've got the company car)
    Yeah, check me out
    I've got the company car (I've got the company car)
    Yeah...

    Met Drew in 2002 while he was 'dating' Switchfoot. All Together Separate I have to say...those were the days....Drew we never got to schedule that concert in the amphitheater. That would complete my life...and give it all to Christ. For you brother.....amen, I love you.

    Covering for the manager of our company's distribution hub one state over, and I get to drive a 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 with 5.7L Hemi. It's got a massive glass rack on it that I have to avoid hitting anything with, but other than that, it's pretty comfy and powerful. I got the company car!!!

    Mike was right

    To be someone
    A fight to be me

    Under the pavement

    I've always despised
    I'm the gingerbread man
    Who got eaten alive
    I'm half-baked, I'm fake!
    But see I got hotels on
    Park Place and Boardwalk
    And two hundred bucks
    I pass go but-oh!-

    To forfeit my soul?
