[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Hey! Hey!

[Chorus: Jack]
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen
Finally, I'm right where I should be
Like when you grow up doing donuts in the parking lot
You hit the station, go insane, and when the kick-drum drops
You know
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1: Ryan]
Called you up so we could reminisce
About the old days, gold days, how we've been
The city's rusty after what we did
We did, we did, we did

[Pre-Chorus: All]
Hey, and though I know it's been a long time in the records
But I saw you smiling like dynamite in the record store
And now I'm shaking (shaking), waiting (waiting)
As you come say hello (hello, hello, hello, hello)

[Chorus: Jack]
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen
Finally I'm right where I should be
Like when you grow up doing donuts in the parking lot
You hit the station go insane and when the kick-drum drops
You know now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2: Ryan]
Every time I get the urge to go
I'm the king of the island on a rusty throne
Who the fuck wants to rule, ruling all alone, alone, alone, alone

[Pre-Chorus:All]
Hey and though I know it's been a long time in the records
But I saw you smiling like dynamite in the record store
And now I'm hoping (hoping), wishing (wishing)
As I walk you to your door (your door, your door, your door, your door)

[Chorus: Jack]
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen
Finally I'm right where I should be
Like when you grow up doing donuts in the parking lot
You hit the station go insane and when the kick-drum drops
You know now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen
Oh-oh-oh

[Bridge: Adam]
And when the weekend comes around
Make our way through rusty towns
Lift the weight up off your back
You're with me love, just relax

[Chorus: Jack]
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen
Finally I'm right where I should be
Like when you grow up doing donuts in the parking lot
You hit the station go insane and when the kick-drum drops
You know now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen
Oh-oh-oh

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
