Freedy Johnston's, "Livin' Too Close to the Rio Grande"
The Lyrics:
Well I got those speakers in Okinawa
but they're too damn heavy for my little boat.
So we're rowin' to the corner and I don't look back.
Driving to her mother's in a U-Haul van.
but they're too damn heavy for my little boat.
So we're rowin' to the corner and I don't look back.
Driving to her mother's in a U-Haul van.
Why:
Okinawa, Japan

Freedy Johnston's, "Venus is Her Name"
The Lyrics:
Across the aisle and one row down,
and Venus is her name.
She moved way out to Hollywood.
Hollywood.
Hollywood.
And she's really doing good.
and Venus is her name.
She moved way out to Hollywood.
Hollywood.
Hollywood.
And she's really doing good.
Why:
Hollywood, CA
