ballad of...

dr. hook

he stands tall in his handmade boots

pretty little girls all around

black was the shade of his nudie suit

and when he sang there was not a sound

from state line to mobile he entertained the crowds

everybody there knew his name

his climb had started but the road gets harder

when you're closing in on fame

bright lights shine and the crowd goes wild

the show won't start 'til y'all calm down"
