The Fall Of The Star High School Running Back lyrics

Home >> Artists starting with M >> Mountain Goats Lyrics >> The Fall Of The Star High School Running Back

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
Nowhere to go but down down down
Nothing but the ground left for you to fall to

By July, you had made a new bunch of brand new friends
in people you used to look down on
And you'd figured out a way to make real money
Given 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
The new law said seventeen year olds could do federal time
You were the first one so I sing this song for you
William Stanaforth Donahue
Your grandfather rode the boat over from Ireland
but you made a bad decision or two
yeah.
