What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Sophomore year
2
You rushed for an average
3
Of 8 1/3 yards per carry
4
All eyes were on you
5
Junior year
6
You blew your knee out
7
At an out-of-town game
8
Nowhere to go but
9
Down, down, down
10
Nothing but the ground
11
for you to fall to
12
By July
13
You’d made a whole bunch of brand new friends
14
People you used to look down on
15
And you’d figured out
16
A way to make real money
17
Giving Ns to your friends
18
And it felt stupendous:
19
Chrome spokes on your Japanese bike
20
But selling acid was a bad idea
21
And selling it to a cop was a worse one
22
And new laws said that
23
17-year-olds could do federal time
24
You were the first one,
25
so I sing this song for you
26
William Standaforth Donahue
27
Your grandfather rode the boat
28
Over from Ireland, but
29
You made a bad decision or two.
