[Verse 1]
She came into New Albany
With midnight on her back
Pretty enough to stop the street
And carrying a bass in black
She found Jason down on Main
And slowly looked around
“I don't want your soul tonight
I came to take this town.”
He plugged in.
“Then play.”
[Extended Bass Duel]
[Verse 2]
She smiled across the silence
Like she'd finally found her game
“You're better than I figured.”
Jason said,
“Same.”
[Extended Bass Duel]
[Instrumental Break]
[Extended Bass Duel]
[Verse 3]
Folks gathered down on Main Street
Nobody made a sound
Two basses talked like thunder
Without shaking down the town
She'd throw him something wicked
He'd send it rolling back
And every time she raised the stakes
He stayed right on her track
[Extended Bass Duel]
[Instrumental Break]
[Final Bass Duel]
[Outro]
She let the last note linger
She let the last note linger
Then pulled the cable free
Jason smiled.
“So who won?”
She said,
“You tell me.”
She looked once down Main Street
Then disappeared from view
“You can keep New Albany.
For now.
I'll come back through.”
[Instrumental Outro]
