I put him in a room so to "heal",
I told the family "No" to their "deal."
The man gave me flak, Jack,
"Better take it all back."
You know they didn't even give me a chance.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
Not only fire me,
They wanna crucify me.
Finally made the grade here in Lubbock,
Never a losing team did I have.
My attorney called to say,
"You can make it O.K.,
They can get their next from the NAIA."
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
Not only fire me,
They wanna crucify me.
Daddy worked the suits at the school,
Lou took his side on his stool.
They didn’t say,
What it is I would say.
I say the boy just wasn’t good enough to play.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
Not only fire me,
They wanna crucify me.
Saving up your bile to aid your slacker son,
Giving all your stories to the press.
I’ll bet your wife said,
"Oh Craig, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you but your soul -
think!"
Made a lot of mistakes in my past,
That’s why the AD changed my contract.
The newspapers say,
"Leach had it coming his way.”
I’m just too stubborn to do things any other way.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
Not only fire me,
They wanna crucify me.
Not only fire me,
They wanna crucify me.
Not only fire me,
They wanna crucify me.
SSSSSSSSSSSS
with heartfelt apologies to John Lennon...
