Magic Carpet Ride

Chewin' on a piece of grass, walkin' down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?

No bites?  Nothing yet?  The first line of the song that went to # 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975.

They had two # 1 songs in the seventies.  10 top tens.  Definitely not a one hit wonder.

Another verse,   "Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by
Purple rain"

FYI, the lines I quoted were not from Surfin' USA, although the writer sued the Beach Boys and won, because Surfin' USA was so much like this song.

I feel better- I kept thinking this was the same song, and I was sure you wouldn't post the same song like that.
