Fall of the Star High School Running Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sophomore 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 [Bridge] Nowhere to go but down, down, down Nothing but the ground left for you to fall to [Verse 2] 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 Japanese bike But selling acid was a bad idea And selling it to a cop was a worse one [Interlude] [Verse 3] The new laws said that seventeen-year-olds could do federal time You were the first one Oh, and 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 [Outro] You made a bad decision or two, yeah You made a bad decision or two, yeah You made a bad decision or two, yeah You made a bad decision or two, yeah
