Capps Songtext
von Charlie Overman

My friend Capps had a basketball goal
With some chain for a net spray painted chrome
And his step dad Calvin liked the Jerry springer show
And owned several Playboy calendars

Calvin had a heart attack two or three years ago
And he hung that tire swing that swung a little too low
And his dog Benny always slept outside in the cold

Nowadays Capps smokes weed in the garage
And goes to EKU and he still wears camouflage
And he′s working on his lats and his triceps among some other things

Nowadays I think a lot about the quilts on your bed
And the cat hair on your ceiling fan and the brain in your head
And the baby blue thong that you liked to wear to bed
With the big black t shirt with the semi painted red


Capps is probably raving about the third time or the second time
While he was playing for the mountain lions
He got himself a concussion
Getting all sentimental and talking in his truck
To his favorite distant cousin

I yearn for those better times with you
Like Capps yearns for high school football snaps
And dodging sacks, but those beloved days have come to an end
Capps is getting fatter and I'm at the Chevy Chase Inn

I′m doing dandy
I'm feeling randy

What you do with the rest of your life is due in part to
Whom you choose to count on
You wasn't ready and neither was I to say if
I′m a hill worth willing to die on
