《The Lonesome Kicker(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:17] Me I'm the Lonesome Kicker

[00:00:24] Extra points field goals at your service

[00:00:31] One might think it comes with glory

[00:00:38] You might think different after you listen to my story

[00:00:47] My helmet is equipped with a tiny face mask

[00:00:54] What it possibly could protect I do not know

[00:01:01] The other guys on the team

[00:01:03] Like to make fun of my little shoulder pads

[00:01:09] And also like to hide the special shoe

[00:01:12] I need to kick in the snow

[00:01:17] People think it's so easy

[00:01:19] To kick a field goal from the 30 yard line

[00:01:24] They forget to add seven yards for the snap

[00:01:27] And 10 more 'cause the goal posts are pushed way back

[00:01:32] In 1974 the uprights were right on the goal line

[00:01:36] But some of the players were running into them

[00:01:37] And getting hurt

[00:01:39] So screw the kicker

[00:01:42] Who cares about the kicker

[00:01:47] But I kick that ball

[00:01:48] And I pray it goes straight

[00:01:50] If it does

[00:01:52] The coach says "Good job number 8"

[00:01:54] He doesn't even know my name is

[00:01:56] Andre Kristacovitchlalinski Jr

[00:02:01] But that's the life I live

[00:02:05] The Lonesome Kicker

[00:02:14] Kickoffs can be so very scary

[00:02:21] Especially if the returner breaks on through

[00:02:29] And I'm the only guy on the playing field left to tackle him

[00:02:36] I don't want to get hurt

[00:02:38] So I pretend to tie my shoe

[00:02:44] Once again I'm ignored by my teammates and all my coaches

[00:02:51] "Go back where you came from "

[00:02:53] Scream 70 000 fans

[00:02:58] Well I know I could win their love back

[00:03:02] By catching a winning touch-down

[00:03:06] But unfortunately I was born with these very small hands

[00:03:14] And I hope that the cameras don't come in too close

[00:03:17] 'Cause they might see the tears in my eyes

[00:03:21] As I sit on this bench made of cold-hearted wood

[00:03:25] And the splinters go deep in my thighs

[00:03:28] And the towel boy snickers as he walks by

[00:03:32] The Lonesome Kicker

[00:03:38] Another blocked kick

[00:03:42] And everybody blames me

[00:03:46] But it was the Left Guard

[00:03:48] Who didn't pick up his man

[00:03:51] Oh why can't they see

[00:04:07] In my home country

[00:04:09] I could have been a minor league soccer player

[00:04:14] But I came to America

[00:04:17] Seeking fortune and seeking fame

[00:04:22] I didn't realize that if I shanked one

[00:04:25] And blew the point spread

[00:04:29] Some drunk guys would push me into their hibachi

[00:04:33] After the game

[00:04:37] So I go home at night

[00:04:39] 'Cause I never get invited

[00:04:40] To go drinking with the other guys

[00:04:44] And I sit in my chair and I soak my foot

[00:04:48] As I eat a plate of cold french fries

[00:04:51] And my wife's out with her quote-unquote friend

[00:04:56] And my son can't look me in the eyes

[00:04:59] But that's the life I live

[00:05:02] The Lonesome Kicker

[00:05:10] Kicking for you

[00:05:17] They took my snow shoe

[00:05:25] They're going for two
