Of books about Home Run King, Henry Aaron
Duval, Florida school shelves are now barren
What kind of specs are those folks wearin'
~ Methinks they're definitely errin'
sitting here in a life i created
and I try not to get to sedated
cause I don't want to miss the call
some day I will sing on duval
and from my boat I sing my ballad
dog done it I just stepped in the salad
oh I wish I could sing in a bar
got a fish shaped like a star
if just money I had in hand
wouldn't have to spend dollars of sand
so here I sit on my pooper
giving birth to the goliath gooper
wishing there was a heart I could warm
if only I could preform
how proud I'd make my mother
if I could only be on the cover
not like the time I went to prison
I wanna see my face in the key west citizen
by Captain Mike Harris
