"I’m Eighteen and I don’t know what I want
Eighteen I just don’t know what I want
Eighteen I gotta get away
I gotta get in the race
Ill go runnin’ in JFT space
I Got a baby’s brain and an old man’s heart took eighteen years to get this far."

Me and My, Me and My, Me and My friends will be gathered here tomorrow to celebrate LIFE. We are NOT losers. For tomorrow, Things are going to change…I can feel it. We will not be running with the devil or his haircut, but some of us might have him up our sleeves. As we go dancing across the Bayou, know the only thing we will be killing is Cold Beer. And this my friends will indeed lead oh, lead us on to Graceland where everyone in the free world will be Rockin!
