Coney Island Baby - Joseph Arthur

You know man, when I was a young man in high-school

He believed in it now, I wanna play football for the coach

And all those older guys who said he was mean and cruel, but you know

I wanna play football for the coach

He said I was too little, wait until I played line back

And so I said I’m playing right in

I wanna play football for the coach

Cause you know, someday, man, you gotta stand up straight

Unless you’re gonna fall, and you’re gonna die

When the straight is new, I have a news, standing right for me all the time

So I had to play football for the coach

And I wanna play football for the coach

When you’re all alone and lonely in your midnight hours

And you find that your soul has been up for sale

And you begin to think about all the things that you’ve done

And you begin to hate just about everything

But remember the prince who lived on the hill

Who loved you even though she knew you were as wrong

And right now she just might come shining through in the

Glory of love, the glory of love

And all your two bit friends have gone and ripped you off

Been talking behind your back saying man

You ain’t never gonna be no human being

Bout all those things that you’ve done

And who it was, and what it does

And all the different things that made every scene

But remember the city is a funny place

Something like a circus of a soul

Just remember different people have peculiar taste

In the glory of love, glory of love, the glory of love

Might see you through

Glory of love, the glory of love

Glory of love, the glory of love

Just might come through

Glory of love, the glory of love
