lyrics

The lines you croon are oh so smooth, way down deep in the jar
The band is cooking, such a grove, way down deep in the jar
Jason and the Scorchers, Tommy and the Torchers, they all think they’re ZZ Top
When they’re way down deep in the jar
They sound just like ZZ Top when you’re way down deep in the jar

Your fiddle sounds like a bass guitar, way down deep in the jar
Your drum kit’s an exploding star, way down deep in the jar
Jason and the Scorchers, Tommy and the Torchers, they all think they’re the Rolling Stones
When they’re way down deep in the jar
They sound just like the Rolling Stones when you’re way down deep in the jar

Lord have mercy, I’m starting to mumble, way down deep in the jar
Still my feet so I don’t stumble, way down deep in the jar
Lord have mercy, I’m starting to mumble, way down deep in the jar

Jason and the Scorchers, Tommy and the Torchers, they all think they’re the Red Idle Rejects
Way down deep in the jar
They sound just like the Red Idle Rejects, way down deep in the jar

Way down deep in the jar

Half of this crowd sings better than me, way down deep in the jar
Slightly wobbly, way off-key, way down deep in the jar
Jason and the Scorchers, Tommy and the Torchers
They all think they’re the Red Idle Rejects, way down deep in the jar

Lord have mercy, we’re the Red Idle Rejects, way down deep in the jar

Red Idle Rejects Cincinnati, Ohio

The Red Idle Rejects formed in 2014 when Steve Bowling brought his country-flavored tunes to his band-mates in Red Idle, who deemed the tunes "too country". Bowling formed a new band to play those tunes, giving it the tongue-in-cheek new band name. The bab has played in the greater Cincinnati region, throughout Kentucky and down to Florida since. ... more
