MI5 SI5 LA5
Me, I'm the Lonesome Kicker
MI5 SI5 LA5
Extra points, field goals at your service
MI5 SI5 LA5
One might think it comes with glory
MI5 SI5 LA5
You might think different after you listen to my story
MI5 SI5 LA5
My helmet is equipped with a tiny face mask
MI5 SI5 LA5
What it possibly could protect, I do not know
MI5 SI5 LA5
The other guys on the team like to make fun of my little shoulder pads
MI5 SI5 LA5
And also like to hide the special shoe I need to kick in the snow
MI5 SI5 LA5
People think it's so easy to kick a field goal from the 30 yard line
MI5 SI5
They forget to add seven yards for the snap, and 10 more 'cause the
LA5
Goal posts are pushed way back
MI5 SI5
In 1974, the uprights were right on the goal line
LA5
But some of the players were running into them, and getting hurt
MI5 SI5 LA5
So screw the kicker... Who cares about the kicker?
LA5 SI5
But I kick that ball, and I pray it goes straight
MI5 DO#5
If it does the coach says "Good job, number 8"
LA5 SI5 MI5 DO#5
He doesn't even know my name is Andre Grisumcovitchlavinski, Jr.
A5 B5 (twice)
But that's the life I live... The Lonesome Kicker
MI5 SI5 LA5
Kickoffs can be so very scary
MI5 SI5 LA5
Especially, if the returner breaks on through
MI5 SI5 LA5
And I'm the only guy on the playing field left to tackle him
MI5 SI5 LA5
I don't want to get hurt, so I pretend to tie my shoe
MI5 SI5 LA5
Once again, I'm ignored by my teammates and all my coaches
MI5 SI5 LA5
"Go back where you came from!" Scream 70,000 fans
MI5 SI5
Well, I know I could win their love back by catching a winning
LA5
Touch-down
MI5 SI5 LA5
But, unfortunately, I was born with these very small hands
LA5 SI5
And I hope that the cameras don't come in too close
MI5 DO#5
Cause they might see the tears in my eyes
LA5 SI5
As I sit on this bench made of cold-hearted wood
MI5 DO#5
And the splinters go deep in my thighs
A5 B5 (twice)
And the towel boy snickers as he walks by...The Lonesome Kicker
A5 B5 Another blocked kick
A5 B5 and everybody blames me
A5 B5 But it was the Left Guard
A5 B5 Who didn't pick up his man
A5 B5 Oh, why can't they see...?
MI5 SI5 LA5
In my home country, I could have been a minor league soccer player
MI5 SI5 LA5
But I came to America seeking fortune and seeking fame
MI5 SI5 LA5
I didn't realize that if I shanked one, and blew the point spread
MI5 SI5 LA5
Some drunk guys would push me into their hibachi after the game.
LA5 SI5
So I go home at night, cause I never get invited
MI5 DO#5
To go drinking with the other guys
LA5 SI5
And I sit in my chair, and I soak my foot
MI5 DO#5
As I eat a plate of cold French fries
LA5 SI5
And my wife's out with her quote-unquote friend
MI5 DO#5
And my son can't look me in the eyes
A5 B5 (twice)
But that's the life I live...The Lonesome Kicker
LA5
Kicking for you
LA5
They took my snow shoe
SI5
They're going for two... (strum) A5 B5 E5
