Like That
February 1, 2002
Well there were shots in the Jersey night
It was J.D. bathed in the dim lamplight
Of a barren apartment over the dentists office and shoe store
A scrabble board lies on the trunk And we were 3 notches past drunk We laughed so hard and loud when I scored 23 points with “plowed”
You were my strength you kept me sane From a life that threatened to be so plain You were the best protection, using a magician-like misdirection
A diner on Route 22 The perfect place to write a song or two On the back of a place-mat or even a napkin will do
There was Elvis, BBAC, The Big Book, Platinum Blonde And I Died In Line At Bradley’s Not to mention Deli Trek and the Dan Tanna Show And driving round till the sun in our rear-view mirror started to glow
Tom—You were like that Nobody else was quite like that Stubborn, passionate, uncompromising Always saw your love for life within Can’t believe I’ll never see you again No memory can fill the void of a lost friend…
A scrabble board lies on the trunk And we were 3 notches past drunk We laughed so hard and loud when I scored 23 points with “plowed”
You were my strength you kept me sane From a life that threatened to be so plain You were the best protection, using a magician-like misdirection
A diner on Route 22 The perfect place to write a song or two On the back of a place-mat or even a napkin will do
There was Elvis, BBAC, The Big Book, Platinum Blonde And I Died In Line At Bradley’s Not to mention Deli Trek and the Dan Tanna Show And driving round till the sun in our rear-view mirror started to glow
