The Boy Done Good |
|
Strange as it may seem, I once had my football dreams |
|
But I was always the last one, the last to get chosen |
|
When my classmates picked their teams |
|
I guess that was the way it stayed in every game I played |
|
Life just tripped me and clattered and kicked me |
|
Till you picked me from the parade |
|
Now I feel like I've won the cup every time that we |
|
make love |
|
Forty-five minutes each way, at halftime I hear a brass |
|
band play |
|
The boy done good, the girl done better, |
|
The seasons turn and we're still together, |
|
The sky is still blue and tomorrow is another day |
|
You weren't that kind of a girl who likes her studs to |
|
be covered in mud |
|
Taking you to the pictures was a regular fixture |
|
For one of life's eternal subs |
|
I tried hard acting tough, but I just can't stand the |
|
taste of that stuff |
|
Like some macho park player I got in the way of |
|
In some grudge match against his club |
|
But I'm happier how I am today now I've put my |
|
boots away |
|
I guess I'll never get picked to play my song on Match |
|
of the Day |
