back in 72 - sam morrison band lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
been out in norfolk, hung up on a short choke
livin’ with a bottle of wine
‘tween music ladies and burned out babies
i was tryin’ to write a couple lines
sheriff gribbs and his grim ad libs
spoutin’ about the crime in the streets
the women were dreamin’ and some were even screamin’
about the crimes between the sheets

[chorus]
the music died
hurt my pride
somehow i got through
back in ’72

[verse 2]
somehow we made it to baton rouge
we stayed in for a week
we weren’t in time for no mardi gras picnic, no
we just had time enough to sleep
houston, yes, was a good old guest
lord knows how bad we wanted to play
we got homesick for lincoln park, michigan, imagine that
and man, we just couldn’t stay
[chorus]
tricky d*ck
man, he played it sl!ck
something i knew he’d do
back in ’72, ’72

[saxophone solo]

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
then all our new*born philosophers
our windows for the world
then some mystic pseudo*intellectual’s
avant*gardish pearls
were takin’ notes on the holocaust
and copying ’em down on his sleeve
it was so hip to be negative
so square to try and believe

[chorus]
when the waters cleared
it was what we feared
we learned nothin’ new
back in ’72, ’72
[outro]
oh ’72
back in ’72
’72
alright
