Lyrics

As Tears Go By

It is the evening of the game
Once more the Skins played pretty lame
Fans say progress is what they see
But that’s not me
I sat and watched
The Jets run by

Our guys just can't beat many teams
Our defense ain’t “all that,” it seems
All I hear is the sound
Of Fitzpatrick scoring on the ground
That could have been
Me running by

    I cannot explain why this didn't air especially with the Fitzpatrick joke. Brilliantly done as always, John!

    I agree with Rob. John should have the open every Monday. Never disappoints...

    they should just offer you a spot every Monday from September through December (not January, obviously) to play your latest redskins dirge. then play Joe's. right off the open.

    This sounds like your own song - in many ways. The vocal fits in so perfectly that I woulda believed you wrote and recorded this as an original tune years ago.

    I'd didn't see the game but I didn't have to. John covered all I need to know right here.
