The Boilerman

'member you meetin' me?
Jumped right out that tree
Had the Carlin wired
Boy, how that spiel inspired
Knocked me out, I was slayed
Changed forever from that day
Sang me some Creedence songs
I was your bassman from then on

I'm a lucky man
To know that man
A hell of a man
The boilerman
Boy, oh boy, oh boilerman
Boil, boil, boil over boilerman
Together with you, I think I can
Make it

We sure had curious minds
Discussin' all the time
Outsiders lookin' in
Wonderin' what, why and when?
Who were the frauds, who held the purse?
What was our labor worth?
Well, you worked that six-string strong
Filled our engine room with song

I'm a lucky man
To know that man
A hell of a man
The boilerman
Boy, oh boy, oh boilerman
Boil, boil, boil over boilerman
Together with you, I think I can
Make it

History, facts, and names
We'd set it up just like a chess game
Reenact the puzzle
Parallel our struggle
Burst out loud with belly laughs
Live each day like it was our last
With you here, I had no fear
Made all my reasons clear

I'm a lucky man
To know that man
A hell of a man
The boilerman
Boy, oh boy, oh boilerman
Boil, boil, boil over boilerman
Together with you, I think we can...

I love you, man
