about

A lesser known, and brilliant composition, by Randy Newman. Unlike the other covers in this collection, the music is played essentially the same as the original.

lyrics

You all should have seen me
When I was sixteen years old
My hair hanging free down my back
Used to shine in the sun like gold

Spent eight years of grade school
Four years of high school
Never was sick one day
And the friends who were with you from the first grade
They’re with you all the way

We’d go done to Atlanta for a ball game
Down to Daytona for the race
Go to the drive-in every Friday
Shine in the sun like gold

One cold winter morning, outside the school
The bell hadn't rung just yet
Stand outside the gate and smoke a cigarette
Brush the snow off our clothes, lean against the wall
Shining

And there wasn't no baby crying
There wasn't no laundry waiting for me on the line
If I didn't want to be alone, I didn't have to be alone
All I had to do was shine
Shining, shining

Lord there must be something better
Lord it just don't seem right
To cook the same breakfast for the same man every morning
Sleep with the same man every night
For the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
