John J Blanchard (Album Version) - Anthony Smith[00:00:00]
He had a stroke in'95[00:00:15]
They thought it best that he reside in a nursing home[00:00:18]
His family vowed they'd never leave him[00:00:28]
Last time they came to see him was three years ago[00:00:31]
He spent his whole life providin'[00:00:38]
Now he was down to relyin' on medicare[00:00:41]
The nurses took a likin' to him[00:00:52]
They'd get his wheelchair out and push him on sunny days[00:00:55]
He couldn't walk he couldn't speak[00:01:02]
Seemed so far outta reach[00:01:05]
But in his mind as far as they knew he could be[00:01:09]
Fly fishin'[00:01:16]
Workin' on that Firebird engine[00:01:19]
Runnin' 99 proof moonshine cross the county line[00:01:22]
3 2 1 And ignition off on some space shuttle mission[00:01:29]
Playin' QB for the Cowboys[00:01:35]
Getting high on the crowd noise and the bright lights[00:01:39]
'Cause deep inside things were rockin' in the mind[00:01:45]
Of John J Blanchard[00:01:51]
One afternoon in June[00:01:59]
A nurse saw his finger move she bout had a heart attack[00:02:03]
She went screamin' down the hall[00:02:13]
"Hey it's a miracle ya'll I think he's comin' back"[00:02:16]
The doctors all rushed in said[00:02:23]
"Do you know what year this is "[00:02:26]
"How many fingers am I holdin' and where've you been "[00:02:30]
And he said[00:02:37]
Fly fishin'[00:02:39]
Workin' on that Firebird engine[00:02:42]
Running 99 proof moonshine cross that county line[00:02:45]
3 2 1 And ignition off on some space shuttle mission[00:02:52]
An playin' QB for the Cowboys[00:02:58]
Getting high on the crown noise and the bright lights[00:03:02]
Yeah this time things were rockin' in the mind[00:03:08]
Of John J Blanchard[00:03:14]
He had a stroke in '95[00:03:31]
They thought it best he reside in a nursing home[00:03:34]
