Lyrics for Glenn Tipton

Cassius Clay was hated More than Sonny Liston Some like KK Downing More than Glenn Tipton Some like Jim Nabors Some Bobby Vinton I like em all I put my feet up On the coffee table I stay up late watching cable I like old movies with Clarke Gable Just like my dad does Just like my dad Did when he was home Staying up late, Staying up alone Just like my dad did when he was thinking Oh, how fast the years fly I know an old woman Ran a doughnut shop She worked late serving cops But then one morning, Baby, her heart stopped Place ain't the same no more Place ain't the same no more Not without my friend, Eleanor Place ain't the same no more Man, how things change I buried my first victim When I was nineteen Went through her bedroom And the pockets of her jeans And found her letters That said so many things That really hurt me bad I never breathed Her name again But I liked to dream About what could have been I never heard her calls again But I like to dream
