Got a beat-up glove, a home-made bat
And a brand new pair of shoes.
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball, and touch 'em all, a moment in the sun
It's-a gone and you can tell that one good-bye
Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please
Let your soul shine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Yeah, now people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
You've got to let your soul shine
Shine 'til the break of day
I got a girl, she lives on the hill
She won't do it but her sister will
When she boogie
She do the tube snake boogie
Well now, boogie, little baby
Boogie-woogie all night long
Another miss: The Grateful Dead at Wrigley Field, 1995, which turned out to be Jerry's last public performance. My wife was seven months pregnant at the time and B.B. King was playing a local festival, so we decided to see him instead. We'd seen the Dead a few times before, but hadn't seen B.B. Still, if I had known ...
It first I thought it was a bad read by Josh on the option. After watching a second time, I see that AJ was going to make the tackle no matter who had the ball - he was unblocked.
The next thing I remember
I'm walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys
I'm with my troops, yeah
And down along the avenue
Some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound
Of a cappella groups, yeah
Singing late in the evening
And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah
Regret missing when I had the chance: Stevie Ray Vaughan at Alpine Valley, 1990. My wife and I had to work early the next morning, so we decided to catch him the next time around. You know how that turned out.
Biggest disappointment: I've never been disappointed in a show that I wanted to see, but about 10 years ago my teenage (not yet driving) son wanted to see Korn, so I took him. There were three bands altogether (I can't remember the first two) for an indoor show, and all I could hear from any of them was a thumping bass and drums. I had a headache for two days after that.
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Oh, Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
When I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my KISS records out.
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
Going down the road feeling bad, hey hey hey, yeah
Don't wanna be treated this a way
Going where the climate suits my clothes
I'm going where the climate suits my clothes
Going where the climate suits my clothes
Don't wanna be treated this a way
