This song is one of the best on binaural i think, Its such a good song to
smoke a cigar to and just ride down the streets to
i used to cruise houston when it was cool out with my windows down smokin ahh those days are gone
forever i should just leave them alone

Oh, he deals ‘em off, off the top, ties ‘em off
Fills it up with his past, gets carried away
Oh, half his life, a hand-me-down, wasted away
Oh, he fills it up with the love of a girl

Oh, he left it alone, drilled the pain with money to buy

How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway

Oh, he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four
Fills his mind with the thought of a girl

How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway
Getaway

    Sooo chill, sooo gorgeous, so simple yet sooo powerful! I loove this song. I agree, one of the best off the album for sure. One of the best PJ songs in general if ya ask me.

    GO STONEY!! ;)

    Yeah, Of The Girl kicks ass. I still have yet to see them open with it. WOW, I can only imagine! What a hell of a way to start a show. The way this song builds up is sooo awesome!!! It's also got some serious groove to it. I can't ever get enough of it. It's definitely one of those songs to be listened to over and over and over.

    :D

    The acoustic version from 10/20/01 (Bridge School) is the version that made me fall in love with this song.
    Hey, reckless mind,

  • This is one of the songs that most definetly benefitted from the binaural recording process. It has such a warm, smoky tone to it. I read a review a long time ago that said the tone of the song made it seem like you were hearing it from the back of a smoke-filled bar. I think that describes it exactly. Such a wonderful piece of art.

  • Of The Girl is definitely one of my favorite PJ songs. It is very relaxing and a great song if you just sit and listen to the music. Awesome song!

    <~~~~ listening to BOSTON 3/Disc 1 :D

    Ooooooh WOW! This song?!?! SEXY SEXY! It starts off all slow, with a gentle but powerful, deep bang from the drums...over and over just getting you to feel to rhythm of it all....then the song just builds and builds and builds. AHHHHHH! And it get's sexier with every minute. I love how the guitar and Ed's voice are both so twangy and tight. Whew! It's all so damn beautiful. Once again, a song that just dives right into you. Feels soooooooooooo good!!! :D

    Love it!

    Don't forget about Minneapolis. Its the best boot as far as sound quality goes, in my opinion. This show solidifies for me that Of the Girl is the best opening song that there is.
