AmericanRadioHistory.Com liD STRUNK A SEMI -REFORMED TEQUILA CRAZED GYPSY LOOKSBACK

As I reflect a lot of things On some warm fall night In my erratic past When you'd like to write I find I've done some things too slow But there's nothing you can say And often much to fast Oh, a pin stripe suit and Gucci shoes But it's been my own foregone conclusion Would dress me up I guess That it's nowhere in between (could send the girls for coffee And the gamble's the same And go and meet the press Whether you play the game And tell them that the der! is off At the nickle or dollar machine The budget's been cut back I've smoked some grass That my boss has got some answers Tye been coarse and crass That'll put us on the track' And I've -been on my ass a lot But I've been my own boss for so long I've quaffed tequila by tle fishbowl There's only me to blame And I don't regret a drop So I guess sing my funky songs I played Douglas Fairbanks Yr. once And hope my kids will do the same On some tile roofs in Spai,u The college of the highway has taught me Cracked my head and b-ne my leg Above all life comes first And never felt the pain And life's my pal And all those times I laugh at For he's stuck with me th-ough the best times Except when I truly was a fool And the worst When in lieu of understanding And we're going to meet tomorrow I let conjecture rule Where some unknown rit er runs And though I like to sing and dance And again we're going to go for it A lot in discotheques and bars This time with my three sons I'll probably spend more time now And through the river's roar we'll crash Somewhere beneath the stars And tumble to the sea Snuggled by some campfire I only hope he treats those boys When the moon is on th? hay As well as he has me. _hid Strunk
