when i was a child
my mother said to me
you can't spend all your days alone
in the shade of a cherry tree
my brother cut the roof off a lincoln
'cause a doctor said lose some weight
and the tape of buck owens
our hair was blowing
as we drove from the garden state
to the lights of the golden gate
i've been missing you
so listen
i'd like to ask you could you drive to town?
and i've been thinking about your lincoln
continental with the sun roof down
when the kid came down from lennox
yeah yawning was the talk of the town
a real high roller
a self promoter
said his band was the best around
he said
i got a little money from performing
