Deric Ruttan’s “Main Street, 1979” is this week’s CCMA Single of the Year nominee Pick of the Week!
During an interview with CBC Music, Deric describes the song as being one of the most personal songs he has ever written and chosen to record. Having no intentions of it ever being a single when he initially recorded, “Main Street, 1979” is full of specific details pertinent to his life.
Legs stickin’ to the vinyl seats
Ice cream truck goes by on the street
Little brother doesn’t even look
Head buried in a comic book
Dad come back with cigarettes
Radio plays Bennie & The Jets
Mama sings, says “don’t touch that dial”
Daddy just smiles
And we roll out of the five and dime
Main Street, 1979
