Tom Flannery - Have You Ever Known Anyone Like Teddy? lyrics

We swore allegiance to the end with a wicked grin With the sun burning holes In the valley of sin Teddy came from bad seed that's what he used to say His Daddy left with the credit card And his sister on the way He had eyes that made girls cry and a nose that looked right down On anyone or anything That tried to outsmart this town He had a smile that'd light up a room with fists that'd clear one out No man could keep him down Of course many had their doubts Chorus: Have you ever known anyone like (3) Anyone like Teddy Sometimes the roads all lead to where you don't want to go But you hear someone calling Who it is you'll never know So I caught the midnight train Teddy there to say goodbye Finally said 'farewell my friend I sure wish that I could fly' (chorus) Teddy used to drop in but my wife she had her say He still looked wild around the eyes And she was not brought up that way So things were quiet for a time then them makeshift walls came down Teddy's knife in the foreman's chest And the mill burnt to the ground I told my wife I know he'll come she said it's him or me Heard his footprints on the porch And I turned to watch her leave With the dirt caked on his face he looked 16 once again Wrapped my arm around his neck Said 'we best be moving on my friend (chorus)
