Van Halen

Van Halen a young kid running the streets of California Brother Alex playing on the pots & pans In time young Eddie bought a guitar hoping in his heart he'll go far Although from that scene many years had passed still having every reason to grasp, A deep aura of musical talent intact Soon a band was formed with Diamond Dave, Alex, Michael & Ed what was going on inside his head flirting with drugs along his path Working so hard anyone else would have a heart attack Eruption on stage with the wailing of his guitar 1984 Still time had passed and the parting of the ways with Diamond Dave Out of sadness there was new gladness with Sammy singing lead A break up with Valerie Bertenelli yet out came son Wolfie Hitting the streets again a brief excursion A band with a talent unmatched still another parting of ways Then it was Mr. Cherona that fell apart at the seems to extreme Looking back today the band went all the way Shooting to the stars a reunited band with Diamond Dave again Perhaps it's best to hold our breath and count to the number ten ? Eddie was and still is my biggest inspiration Now is a good time for the band to take a break on a long vacation.
