Me and Jimmie Rodgers used to ride them
Rolling boxcars in the summer time
Jimmie he'd play his guitar I'd lay back
And watch the stars and sip my wine
Me and Audie Murphy used to crawl out on our bellies
Through the German lines
No audie I won't leave you here
I'll pull you through cause buddy you're a pal of mine
Me and Phil Rizzuto didn't we move round like
Lightning on the double play
I'd look over in the stands
And Marilyn should see me and she'd smile and wave
Hell no coach Lombardi this old broken back ain't nothing
If the game was saved
And fellers if I don't pull through
Just put a little golden football on my grave
John Wayne he once said to me them Japs will take the island
And we've got to save the old Rred white and blue
Someone's got to swim out to the submarine and warn them
And Bare you know I hate like hell to ask you to
Me and Tony Zarro we used to spar together up in Stillman's Gym
Knowing someday it would be
The Garden and the championship for me or him
And Coop if no one in this town
Is man enough to back you when Frank Miller comes
Then come high noon I'll walk with you
I may be young but I know how to use a gun
Judy Grable don't you cry you know you can be a star
And with my drinking I'd just hold you back
Go on and sign the contracts hon and I'll read about you
In some old newspaper blowing cross some lonesome hobo camp
Me and Jimmie Rodgers we still ride them rolling boxcars
In the summer time
Jimmie he plays his guitar I lay back
And watch the stars and sip my wine
Me and Audie Murphy we still crawl out on our bellies
Through the German lines
Audie I won't leave you here
I'll pull you through cause budy you're power man
Marilyn come overhere hold me close to you
You kiss me one last time
