He had a stroke in'95 They thought it best that he reside in a nursing home His family vowed they'd never leave him Last time they came to see him was three years ago He spent his whole life providin' Now he was down to relyin' on medicare The nurses took a likin' to him They'd get his wheelchair out and push him on sunny days He couldn't walk, he couldn't speak Seemed so far outta reach But in his mind, as far as they knew, he could be Fly fishin' Workin' on that Firebird engine Runnin' 99 proof moonshine cross the county line 3,2,1 And ignition off on some space shuttle mission Playin' QB for the Cowboys Getting high on the crowd noise and the bright lights 'Cause deep inside things were rockin' in the mind Of John J Blanchard One afternoon in June A nurse saw his finger move she bout had a heart attack She went screamin' down the hall "Hey it's a miracle ya'll, I think he's comin' back" The doctors all rushed in, said "Do you know what year this is?" "How many fingers am I holdin', and where've you been?" And he said Fly fishin' Workin' on that Firebird engine Running 99 proof moonshine cross that county line 3,2,1 And ignition off on some space shuttle mission An playin' QB for the Cowboys Getting high on the crown noise and the bright lights Yeah, this time things were rockin' in the mind Of John J Blanchard He had a stroke in '95 They thought it best he reside in a nursing home
