No. 29 - Steve Earle/The Dukes

作词：Steve Earle

作曲：Steve Earle

I was born and raised here

this town's my town

Everybody knows my name

But ever since the glass plant

closed down

Things round here

ain't never been the same

I got me a good job alright

but some nights

Take me to another time

Back when I was No ２９

I was pretty good

then don't you know watch him go

Buddy I could really fly

Everyone in town came hip flasks

Horn blasts

Any autumn Friday night

Sally yelled her heart out push em back

Way back

I was hers and she was mine

Back when I was No ２９

We were playin' Smithville big boys

Farm boys

Second down and four to go

Bubba brought the play

in good call my ball

Now they're gonna see a show

But Bubba let his man go I cut back

Heard it crack

It still hurts me but I don't mind

Reminds me I was No ２９

Now I go to the ballgames cold nights

Half pints

Friday nights I'm always here

We got a pretty good team good boys

Strong boys

District champs the last three years

Got a little tailback

pretty quick real slick

I take him for a steak sometimes

Nowadys he's No ２９

I don't follow rainbows big dreams

Brass rings

I've already captured mine

Back when I was No ２９
