Another Drive For Touchdown Tony
Getting a good slot
You may have to play a lot
When experience is fed
Hours worked worried about reality debt
You arrived noted as a star
Talked about inside the local bar
Needing a transition in life
Having the power to say a my kid and wife
Taking your time
Success coming at another’s dime
Driving in
Listening to rock roll sin
Or the barking voices
Making rhetoric noises
This was the place to go
Since they said you know
About the ball you throw
Checking the hour
Glimpsing at the bank clock tower
Entering the security gate
Person inside the booth makes you wait
“I know you from the college game
Please let me know your name?”
Pushing the button to let the window down
Smiling no need for a frown
You did not lie
Telling the uniform guy
“Touchdown Tony
You know me from your flat screen Sony”
Defense trying to assist
Being the right guard checking the list
“Touchdown Tony
I know you are not a phony
Welcome to the Land of Broadcasting to the Lonely”
Taking his ride to another level
Touchdown Tony cruising like the Great Satan devil
Finding the best slot
Parking himself thinking he was still hot
Sitting there
Nothing to fear
Elevator in the midst
Up down it will go hit or miss
Suddenly a one arm bandit appears
Still having a fortune’s ability to steer
“I am so glad
You came Dad
Pull my arm give it a spin
Touchdown Tony once again you may win”
You left the car
Not showing any disfigurement scar
This is going to work
A good idea to pay the bills from the flying stork
Everyday Touchdown Tony went back
Communicating in a sound track
Observing other quarter backs
Get sacked
It was then
You decided to retire to the den
Being the perfect Ken
Barbie serving you naked wings
As she tried to sing
A lovely lullaby
Putting her child to bed not hearing a cry
Only a sigh
Knowing she married a rich guy
