He had a stroke in`95
They thought it best that he reside in a nursing home
His family vowed they`d never leave him
Last time they came to see him was three years ago
He spent his whole life providin`
Now he was down to relyin` on medicare
The nurses took a likin` to him
They`d get his wheelchair out and push him on sunny days
He couldn`t walk,he couldn`t speak
Seemed so far outta reach
But in his mind,as far as they knew,he could be
Fly fishin`
Workin` on that Firebird engine
Runnin` 99 proof moonshine cross the county line
3,2,1 and ignition:off on some space shuttle mission
Playin` QB for the Cowboys
Getting high on the crowd noise and the bright lights
`Cause deep inside things were rockin` in the mind
Of John J Blanchard
One afternoon in June
A nurse saw his finger move she bout had a heart attack
She went screamin` down the hall
`Hey it`s a miracle ya`ll,I think he`s comin` back`
The doctors all rushed in,said
`Do you know what year this is?`
`How many fingers am I holdin`,and where`ve you been?`
And he said:
Fly fishin`
Workin` on that FireBird engine
Running 99 proof moonshine cross that county line
3,2,1 and ignition:off on some space shuttle mission
An playin` QB for the Cowboys
Getting high on the crown noise and the bright lights
Yeah,this time things were rockin` in the mind
Of John J Blanchard
