Cassius Clay was hated more than Sonny Liston 
Some like KK Downing more than Glenn Tipton 
Some like Jim Nabors, some Bobby Vinton 
I like 'em all 

I put my feet up on the coffee table 
I stay up late watching cable 
I like old movies with Clarke Gable 
Just like my dad does 

Just like my dad did when he was home 
Staying up late, staying up alone 
Just like my dad did when he was thinking 
Oh, how fast the years fly 

I know an old woman ran a doughnut shop 
She worked late serving cops 
But then one morning, baby, her heart stopped 
Place ain t the same no more 

Place ain t the same no more 
Not without my friend, Eleanor 
Place ain t the same no more 
Man, how things change 

I buried my first victim when I was nineteen 
Went through her bedroom and the pockets of her jeans 
And found her letters that said so many things 
That really hurt me bad 

I never breathed her name again 
But I liked to dream about what could have been 
I never heard her calls again 
But I like to dream
