Lyrics
Nineteen fifty-nine Nana was getting on to grade nine She met a boy, went by the name Dean He was a captain of the football team She was a fountain of the village scene He wa'n't around much, never really been seen 'Less he was visiting Rick's widow Caroline Now, Dean had him some big head for dreaming Had chicken and swans, s'posed to be for selling Had devious plans, getting into gasoline Had several cats in the Hollywood magazine Or they wrote about jazz, or they wrote about films Or they wrote about cards, or they wrote about fiends Or the wrote about girls, or they wrote about queens Or they wrote about the fed, or they wrote about the thin Eh! All this talking about dreams made Dean's daddy feel sick He was praying he would avenge his dead brother Rick The pain made him numb, the war in Vietnam It took his first son, it took his third son But I suppose he was a man, a man that'll never learn The pride will return with a fixating burn If he took his fifth son, if he took his eighth son It must be just a part of the good Lord's, of the good Lord's plan
