Brief History Of My Life
Lyricist:Steve Poltz
Alright, here goes
I first moved to the U.S.A All the way from Canada Drove across the continent From Nova Scotia to Pasadena
My sister and me and my mom and dad From the cold to the sunny south There were palm trees growing and it was not snowing And I never did shut my mouth
We drove on over to the court house In downtown Los Angeles Put our hands on a Bible and we swore as a family That we were not communists
When we drove away I started to cry They said, 'What's wrong son, are you sick?' I said, I don't wanna be an American I want to be a catholic
We talked Hollywood And baseball in the car The voice of Vin Scully It would travel really far
I made my first communion In St. Rita's catholic church There was incense choking and a priest was smoking Was a choir up in the perch
My face got red and my stomach felt bad They said, 'If you're gonna get sick use a cup' Well, I thought by the time that it was my turn Jesus would be all eaten up
We talked Hollywood Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And baseball in the car The voice of Ernie Harwell It would travel really far
My allergies were bad so we moved to the desert To a city called Palm Springs We trick or treated at Liberace's house Each finger had a diamond ring
We met Elvis Presley in the middle of the summer He hugged my sister for far too long Well I felt kinda weird but I would've pimped her out Just to hear him sing a song
We talked Hollywood And baseball in the car The voice of Jack Buck It would travel really far, hey
Now here I am a grown up boy At home on the 4th of July Staring out at the ocean And the fireworks in the sky
I miss my friends who aren't around The ones who passed away Well, I'm feeling kinda grateful Here on Independence Day
We talked Hollywood And baseball in the car The voice of Jerry Coleman It would travel really far
I'd get allergies And asthma in the yard No-one ever told me Growing up would be so hard
