Anthony Smith - John J. Blanchard Lyrics

Send "John J. Blanchard" ringtone to your cell

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

321 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

321 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

He had a stroke in '95

They thought it best he reside in a nursing home
