about

"Can't Hardly Wait" by The Replacements has been a timeless alternative rock classic since its official release in 1987. However - between the official release and all of the alternate versions to have appeared since, we felt the song never reached its full rock and roll potential.

Pullstring's rocking take on the classic song has been a fan-favorite in our live set and we can’t hardly wait for rock fans everywhere to hear it!

lyrics

I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight, I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again

Lights that flash in the evening
Through a crack in the drapes
Oh I can't wait

Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff?
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes

See, you're high and lonesome
Try and try and try

Lights that flash in the evening
Through a crack in the drapes
I'll be home when I'm sleeping
I can't hardly wait

I can't wait, hardly wait
I can't wait, hardly wait
I can't wait, hardly wait
I can't wait, until it's over
