The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988 lyrics

Written by: Terry Reid 1968

Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm?
Or a lion through a busy street bazarre?
There are many things I'd love to turn you on to
But somehow I feel they're safer where they are

Yes, there's a man I know
With no expression
He's got none at all
Yes, there's a man that I know
With no expression, darling
He's got none at all

Little ditty, about Jack and Diane

2 American kids growin up in the heartland.

Jacky goin' be a football star

Diane's debutante--backseat of Jacky's car

Suckin' on chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze

Diane sittin' on Jacky's lap, got his hands between her knees

Jacky say, "Hey Diane, let's run off hind' shady tree"

Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks, now do what I please.

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me
