the mountain goats - fall of the star high school running back lyrics
soph0m-re year
you rushed for an average of eight and a third yards per carry
all eyes were on you
junior year
blew your knee out at an out-of-town game
nowhere to go but down, down, down
nothing but the ground left for you to fall to
by july
you’d made a whole bunch of brand new friends
people you used to look down on,
and you’d figured out a way to make real money
giving ends to your friends and it felt stupendous,
chrome spokes on your j-panese bike
but selling acid was a bad idea
and selling it to a cop was a worse one
the new laws said that seventeen-year-olds could do federal time
and you were the first one
so i sing this song for you
william staniforth donahue,
your grandfather rode the boat over from ireland
but you made a bad decision or two, yeah
