Sad sac and tarzan walkin up at the mall
up walked a girlfriend said you had the gall to 
bring my name up again
looking for salvation we had an ice cream soda
I said have you ever wondered what became of uncle bill
he was peelin potatoes back in world war two
and we was playin that rock and roll 
at the school for you know who
hidden from the public it was behind the scenes
there was a relic they called the purple hair
I was eating a taco I looked across the room
I saw a girl in a red dress she said she'd like to do me in
I left the waiter a tip and scrambled toward the door
I said you might have loved me 
but now there's nothing more
she's always on my trail she really likes to kill
I keep her lovely picture on my window sill
I was just a cowboy without a show
I was like the kind of guy you never really know
you won't forget me no matter how hard you try
and when it's my time to go
I'll wave goodbye
sing yourself a melody cry a tear of joy
