'''"Gary's Song"''' is the 4th song on [[start\|American Music Club]]'s second album, 1987’s ''[[Engine]]''. [[Mark Eitzel]] told ''Sounds'' magazine that "The song started out to be about summer in Columbus; and then it started being about sitting on a porch drinking beer with a friend; and then it started being about…like, Cleveland has really bad areas where everything’s falling apart. I’ve always written really sad songs…I think that way."<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://www.geocities.com/rsjbrazier/amcoption88.html \| work=Sounds \| date=January 16, 1988 \| author=Ralph Traitor \| title=Ace Of Clubs \| accessdate=June 16, 2017}}</ref>

==Lyrics==
Gary, tell me why the leaves on the trees 
Are falling as early as the spring 
Why the leaves on the trees that are falling on us 
Are like the words to the song 
I've lived my whole life to sing

If you swim too much you'll drown

If we sit here and drink enough beer 
We'll be two inflatable dolls in a hooker's bad dream 
When the storm reaches us we'll be two blind drunks 
Who've absorbed through the skin 
a whole lifetime of kerosene

If you drink too much you will drown 
And the shame of my life is watching you

Gary, I think we've worn out our welcome 
They're waiting for us to leave 
Gary, they've got a new kind of person 
A newer, stronger, cleaner breed

And I think I just came in my pants 
Oh baby, do you want to dance?

Everything collapses here, slow motion 
And the roots of the dance and the stain in my pants 
Are beyond any small man's conception

If you drink too much you will drown 
And the shame of my life is watching you drown
