Back In '98

(Chip Taylor)

Back Road Music, B.M.I.



She tracked me to N.Y. - & she said she was with child

& She thought that I was the father - I said we only kissed a while

(She said) you & me we had the spirit - & I've known no other man

& When he came he looked just like me - & I said, "Well I'll be damned."



That was long before the cloning - when a man still had some pride

Before all the replication - which was just before I died

The Internet was booming - & people tasted what they ate

& a Boy & Girl could fall in Love - (It was) back in '98



& So we named him Jesus - a name that most forgot

It wasn't meant to be sacreligious - we just said "Why not"

& He wondered there among us- & never said a word

Until he formed his own rock band - & this is what we heard



Oh Oh Oh Oh - I have no fear - I have no fear

" " " " It's gonna be one hell of a year



& Everybody sang the song - & it went to #1

& Me I tried for 30 years - & never got that done-

& He took all his money - & put it in the bank

& He remembered where he came form -

& Always had his Ma to thank



That was long before the cloning....etc.
