Well, we gotta talk about her, don't we?
She's worth talking about.
She's worth writing about.

John always says if you've ever been on the road you met Geraldine.
Because we wrote a song about this made up girl.
But is she made up?
I mean, not really.
A little bit of truth in everything.
Yeah.
Anyway, I don't even have to explain it because once you hear it you'll know what I'm talking about.
