Bob Seger Lyrics for Song: Back in '72
 Lyrics for Album: Back in '72 [1973]
 
 
 
 2397>Went out in Norfork, hung on a short short
 
 Livin' with a bottle of wine
 
 With music ladies and burned out babies
 
 I was tryin' to write a couple of lines
 
 
 
 Sherriff Gribbs with his grim ad libs
 
 Spoutin' about the crime in the street
 
 And women were screamin' and some was dreamin'
 
 'Bout the crimes between the sheets
 
 
 
 You know that music died, hurt my pride
 
 But somehow I pulled through, back in '72
 
 Somehow we made it to Baton Rouge
 
 We stayed inside for a week
 
 We weren't in town for no Mardi Gras
 
 So we decided to sleep
 
 Houston, yes, was a good old guest
 
 Lord knows how bad we wanted to play
 
 But we got homesick for Lincoln Park, imagine
 
 And man we just couldn't stay
 
 
 
 Tricky Dick, he played it slick
 
 Something I was afraid he'd do, back in '72
 
 Then all the new born philosophers
 
 Are windows for the world
 
 Then some mystic psuedo-intellectual
 
 Avant-garde-ish world
 
 Takin' notes on that ?
 
 That got me down on the scene
 
 It was so hip to be negative
 
 So square to try and believe
 
 
 
 When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
 
 We learned nothin' new,
 
 Back in '72
