“Volvo Driving Soccer Mom” by Everclear

"Volvo Driving Soccer Mom" was the first single from Everclear's 2003 album Slow Motion Daydream, and Art Alexakis also played it on his solo tour. He wrote the words, the music is credited to the band, and he produced it with Lars Fox, with Randy Staub mixing.

It's a sardonic character sketch: the wild girl of high school and college, with drugs, a threesome and a possession bust in her past, who settles into a conservative suburban housewife's life once that suits her better. Alexakis told Songfacts in October 2003 that it's really about labels, about letting other people's standards define you, the kind of name-calling that's understandable in junior high and inexcusable once you're grown.
