The Mind of John J. Blanchard - Tommy Shane Steiner (汤米·沙恩·斯泰纳)[00:00:00]
He had a stroke in '95[00:00:14]
They thought it best that he reside[00:00:18]
In a nursing home[00:00:20]
His family vowed they'd never leave him[00:00:28]
The last time they came to see him[00:00:31]
Was three years ago[00:00:34]
He spent his whole life providin'[00:00:38]
He was down to relyin'[00:00:41]
On medicare[00:00:44]
The nurses took a likin' to him[00:00:51]
They'd get his wheelchair out and push him[00:00:55]
On sunny days[00:00:58]
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 know he could be[00:01:08]
Fly fishin' workin' on that fire bird engine[00:01:16]
Runnin' 99 proof moonshine 'cross that County line[00:01:22]
321 and ignition off on some space shuttle mission[00:01:28]
Playin' QB for the cowboy's getting high on the crowd noise[00:01:35]
And the bright lights[00:01:42]
'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[00:02:02]
She 'bout had a heart attack[00:02:05]
She went screamin' down the hall[00:02:13]
Hey it's a miracle ya'll[00:02:16]
I think he's comin' back[00:02:19]
The doctors all rushed in[00:02:23]
Said do you know what year this is[00:02:26]
How many fingers am I holdin' and where've you been[00:02:29]
And he said[00:02:37]
Fly fishin'[00:02:39]
Workin' on that fire bird engine[00:02:41]
Runnin' 99 proof moonshine 'cross that County line[00:02:44]
321 and ignition off on some space shuttle mission[00:02:51]
Playin' QB for the cowboy's getting high on the crowd noise[00:02:58]
And the bright lights[00:03:05]
All this time things were rockin' in the mind[00:03:08]
Of John J Blanchard[00:03:14]
He had a stroke in '95[00:03:29]
They thought it best that he reside[00:03:32]
In a nursing home[00:03:35]
