Stone Pony Blues - Featuring references to real life, contemporary Asbury Park Rockers such as Rick Barry, Gordon Brown, Jimmy Capobianco, Days Awake, Geena, Joe Harvard, Last Perfect Thing, April Smith, Status Green, Tony Tedesco, Turtle Soup, and Jay Walker the song addresses the classic plight of a struggling musician trying to get a gig at "the cool club". In this case, one of the most legendary clubs in rock and roll history. Around here, bands kind of come and go as the top dogs that can fill the joint.

I got the Stone Pony Blues, cause I gotta pay my dues

And I can't play there, 'cause my draw is rather bare
B A
When I hit that stage, you're gonna feel my rage

Stone Pony Blues
Jimmy's tending bar, he's a rock and roll star
He likes to play guitar, but he never got to far
When he hits that stage, you know he's gonna rage
The Stone Pony Blues
solo
Status Green is the Last Perfect Thing
Like Days Awake when Rick Barry sings
April Smith and Turtle Soup, Gordon Brown is watching you
When they hit the stage the kids are gonna rage
ain't gonna be no Stone Pony Blues
solo "Remember Butch and Jack? They never took no flack,
if your ticket sales were slack, they'd take your money back.."
solo
When they owned that stage it was the Glory Days
Stone Pony Blues
I got the Stone Pony Blues, gotta pay my dues
and I can't play there, cause my draw is rather bare
When I hit the stage their gonna feel my rage
Stone Pony Blues
and I'm gonna bring Tony Tesdesco, Joe Harvard - guys like that
There will be Jay Walkin', big talking, there's gonna be a Geena in the house
Stone Pony Blues. still I gotta pay my dues
and you can't play there, if your crowd is rather bare
So when you hit the stage, you're gonna make a rage
