The Fountain

Back in the days of the boom times, you could show up with a suitcase in your hand Mark the days in quarters raised, down at the Fountain Down at the Fountain Throw another in Bills got paid and friends were made, we had the same dreams then Cards were dealt on the countertop, you could sit there all day long You always raised, as the jukebox played, you could get lunch for a song Down at the Fountain Throw another in When the call came for you, it felt like we all could win Now we know we're all on our way and to that we testify But for tonight, let's celebrate, seeing your name in lights Singing "Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here", this is sure to be our year If the call don't come for me, I'm glad that it was you I see them coming two by two as they're getting off the bus The names have changed, some things remain They have the same dreams as us And I'm still here. Just to play them your song Bills get paid and bones they ache, you can sit here all day long
