Hey Tony (I Want My Life Back, Too)
		Louie Ludwig   zzi music/Rabadash Music


This one sprang forth whole after hearing Tony Hayward's whine during the Deepwater Horizon spill,
easily the single stupidest utterance of last year.

My brother down the parish finally got his own boat
Storm came through, it's a miracle it even float
He's doin' alright, despite the last year or two
Hey Tony, he wants his life back, too

My wife's from around here; her little sister moved away
Saved up her money, bought a B and B by Mobile Bay
She does pretty well with all the tourists passing through
Hey Tony, she wants her life back, too

I want my life back, too
If it's okay with you
I want my life back, too
Just do the best you can do

I dreamt I was runnin' on the hot, white sand,
Tryin' to run from the wave that was comin' to land
All the people stared from the big, white towers
Watchin' the sun, and countin' the hours 'til the end of the world

Holiday comes, we all go to grandma's place
Then one summer, that all got erased
Funny, we said that was the hardest we'd ever get through
Hey Tony, we'd even take that, too
Hey Tony, I want my life back, too
Hey Tony, I want my life back, too
