A Little More Like Me [The Crucifixion]
THROCKMORTON, Sonny Throckmorton
It was an April night and I was driving
Been out on the town
The show was at the palace
So we all went on down
We all had a ball as I recall
But now it seems absurd
As the madness raged upon the stage
He did not say a word
He was a little weird and we all feared
He wasn’t one of us
He didn’t drink, he didn’t smoke
And he didn’t even cuss
You’d see him now and then
With a bunch of men hanging round the sea
And I know I would have liked him more
If he were a little more like me
It was a spring-ish day –
The clouds were grey
It looked like it might rain
I thought about the night before
And I was so ashamed
When I heard what they had done to him
The stranger I had known
But the way we all got down last night
It’s a wonder we got home
