Words and music by bob seger<br><br>Went out in norfork hung on a short short<br><br>Livin' with a bottle of wine<br><br>To music, ladies and burned out babies<br><br>I was tryin' to write a couple of lines<br><br>Sherriff gribbs with his grim ad libs<br><br>Spoutin' 'bout the crime in the streets<br><br>And women were screamin' and some were dreamin'<br><br>'bout the crowd between the sheets<br><br>You know that music died, hurt my pride<br><br>Somehow I got through, back in '72<br><br><br>Somehow we made it to baton rouge<br><br>We stayed inside for a week<br><br>We weren't in town for no mardi gras<br><br>So we decided to sleep<br><br>Houston, yes, was a good old guest<br><br>Tho knows how bad we wanted to play<br><br>But we got homesick for lincoln park<br><br>(imagine that) and then we just couldn't stay<br><br>Tricky dick, he played it slick<br><br>Something I was afraid he'd do<br><br>Back in '72 , oh, '72<br><br><br>Then all our new born philosophers<br><br>Out went to alert the world<br><br>Then some psuedo-intellectuals<br><br>Even got it unfurled<br><br>Takin' notes on that harvard course<br><br>And got me on a bottle of seed<br><br>It was so hip to be negative<br><br>So square to try and leave<br><br>When the waters cleared, it was what we feared<br><br>We learned nothin' new,<br><br>Back in '72<br><br>'72<br><br>'72<br><br>In '72<br><br>Back in '72<br><br>Back in '72 back in '72,...
