Along Came You

Scott Whitby, 2021


Rocket ships up to the moon

Showed the Russians just who was who

Came back home

Along came you


Spent two nights at Woodstock

Played the guitar for you know who

Came back home

There was you


Testified at Watergate

When the government sued

Nixon is gone

Still got you


Hostages across the sea

Ayatollah never knew

If I can get back home

Can I still have you?


Flew the Concorde

Faster than sound

After that flight

You're still around


Arrested Son of Sam

Broke Charles Manson

Sold my soul

To be Reggie Jackson


Cleaned up the Temple in

Guyana in Jamestown

Made a fool of Ted Bundy

In the court across town


I rode Secretariat

Fought Mohammed Ali

I told Spiro Agnew

Why can't you see?


But all I want

All I want to do

Is come home one night and

Be loved by you


Don't care about the moon

Or you know who or

Hitting home runs

I just need you


Airplanes don't matter

The Ayatollah is a fool

Secretariat and Ali

I just need you
