Lyrics

Have a Little Fun


Verse 1.

Alan sat down on the edge of the bench
With his head sun burnt and his shirt all drenched
Looks out across an empty ball park
At the twilight of a summers day

Laughs to himself sez ?Man it?s just like life?
?One day you?re a hero underneath the lights?
?The next you?re hunkered down in the splinters and the spit?
?And everybody?s gone away?

Refrain:

You can spend your life trying to be somebody
forever wondering where you went wrong
In the meantime buddy we had ourselves some fun.

Verse 2.

Alan takes a walk down to the end of the fence
With his stomach turning and his fists both clenched
Looks up to God and though he knows better
Begins to ask him ?why?
Sometimes it?s all that he can think about
From the time he wakes up until the lights go out
Trying to measure up to the level of a man
That had learned him how to fly.

Refrain:

You can spend your life trying to be somebody
forever wondering where you went wrong
In the meantime buddy we had ourselves some fun.

Brdge:

After all is said and done you only are the things you?ve done
So grab a hold and carry on

Verse 3.

Alan takes a tug on his dusty cap
Picks up his glove and his baseball bat
Walks by the bleachers where he and his buddy
Used to catch the ladies eyes
Gets a teary-eyed smile when he thinks of him
With his ?way cool shades and goatee grin?
He taught him how to live
And he taught him how to love and then he
Taught him how to die.

Refrain:
You can spend your life trying to be somebody
Forever wondering where you went wrong
In the meantime buddy we had ourselves some fun.
