Pistol Pete Maravich

They called me in the studio
Said sing the ABC’s
Half an hour later they said
Thanks, that’s all we need
From you right now

They said write down your letters, boys
Sing one of every note
Tomorrow you can listen to
The songs that you wrote
Go down, go down

And if you want to be with me
Be with me right now
And if you want to be with someone else
That’s all right anyhow

Pistol Pete Maravich and his Dad are gone
Never really had a chance until right now to say so long
So long, so long
I Went and saw the Lakers play, Shaquille scored 32
The fans were all on Webber, but I like Webber too
Go down go down

And if you want to be with me
Be with me right now
And if you want to be with someone else
That’s all right anyhow

And the phone lines, the phone wires, the phone bills
Are wrappin ’round my neck sometimes
My friends say you gotta get that e-mail goin’—

I carry this picture frame, as I go from town to town
So far I ain’t found nothin to put the frame around
Go down go down
I guess I’d rather see my whole life head south
Than have anybody put words in my mouth
Go down go down

And if you want to be with me
Be with me right now
And if you want to be with someone else
That’s all right anyhow…
