ATF: Moms and Dads 2

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Stacey’s Mom

The Fountains of Wayne

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy

Can I come over after school

After school

We can hang around by the pool

Hang by the pool

Did your mom get back from her business trip

Business trip

Is she there

Or is she trying to give me the slip

Give me the slip

You know

I'm not the little boy that I used to be

I'm all grown up now

Baby can't you see

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

She's all I want

And I've waited for so long

Stacy can't you see

You're just not the girl for me

I know it might be wrong

But I'm in love with Stacy's mom

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy do you remember when I mowed your lawn

Mowed your lawn

Your mom came out with just a towel on

Towel on

I could tell she liked me from the way she stared

The way she stared

And the way she said

You missed a spot over thereA spot over there

And I know that you think it's just a fantasy

But since your dad walked out

Your mom could use a guy like me

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

She's all I want

Snd I've waited so long

Stacy can't you see

You're just not the girl for me

I know it might be wrong

But I'm in love with Stacy's mom

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

She's all I want

And I've waited for so long

Stacy can't you see

You’re just not the girl for me

I know it might be wrong

But oh oh

I know it might be wrong

I'm in love with Stacy's mom

Oh oh

Stacy’s mom

Oh oh

I'm in love with Stacy's mom

Leader of the Band

Dan Fogelberg

An only child

Alone and wild

A cabinet maker's son

His hands were meant for different work

And his heart was known to none

He left his home

And went his lone

And solitary way

And he gave to me

A gift I know

I never can repay

A quiet man of music

Denied a simpler fate

He tried to be a soldier once

But his music wouldn't wait

He earned his love through discipline

A thundering velvet hand

His gentle means of sculpting souls

Took me years to understand

The leader of the band is tired

And his eyes are growing old

But his blood runs through my instrument

And his song is in my soul

My life has been a poor attempt

To imitate the man

I'm just a living legacy

To the leader of the band

My brothers' lives were different

For they heard another call

One went to Chicago

And the other to St. Paul

And I'm in Colorado

When I'm not in some hotel

Living out this life I've chose

And come to know so well

I thank you for the music

And your stories of the road

I thank you for the freedom

When it came my time to go

I thank you for the kindness

And the times when you got tough

And, papa

I don't think I said

I love you near enough

The leader of the band is tired

And his eyes are growing old

But his blood runs through my instrument

And his song is in my soul

My life has been a poor attempt

To imitate the man

I'm just a living legacy

To the leader of the band

I am the living legacy

To the leader of the band
