[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:00.50]One thing I was sure of
[00:02.14]That my uncle Leo was definitely the hero of my childhood
[00:07.11]The smell of his old spice cologne carried me
[00:09.04]Back into that lost childhood more than the home movies did
[00:13.64]My uncle didn't know it but it was the sweet
[00:16.01]Cheap smell of car dealers that took me back
[00:18.92]And made me dissolve into a dream of the past
[00:22.66]Leo was the last dinosaur that smelled of cheap cologne
[00:26.28]And he believed in the American dream
[00:29.89]I was crazy about him because he believed in miracles
[00:32.81]And Even though he lived inside of life and sold Cadillacs
[00:36.57]He always looked like a ten-year-old boy whose sleeves were too long
[00:41.69]When I was ten Leo gave me this great movie camera
[00:44.51]And my mother always hoped I'd become the next Milton Berle
[00:47.62]But dreams of houses and cars and fresh-cut lawns
[00:50.33]Aren't dreams when they become real
[00:52.47]And somehow I understood what my mother
[00:55.22]Meant by good morning Columbus
[00:57.50]And even if my mother didn't like
[00:58.70]What I was doing with my life
[01:01.13]I think she'd understand
[01:06.02]When I was 11 I got this really weird earache
[01:08.90]That wouldn't go away
[01:10.64]I went to about a hundred doctors
[01:12.04]But none of them could help me
[01:13.89]So what Leo did was he went into Mexico
[01:16.57]And brought back this fat lady witch doctor
[01:18.47]Who did this mumbo-jumbo and fixed me right up
[01:21.99]I was grateful but somehow I thought
[01:23.39]I might've been better off mute
[01:26.17]All in all I had a very happy childhood
[01:29.46]My father was a border guard who spent most of his life
[01:31.65]Trying to keep people from crossing lines
[01:34.47]Every night for 15 years he'd go out and smooth
[01:36.57]Down the road between Mexico and Arizona
[01:39.39]And every morning he'd be out there
[01:40.39]Looking for footprints in the dirt
[01:43.44]But my father always said that work was like a hat
[01:45.22]You put on your head
[01:46.86]And even if you didn't have pants
[01:48.14]You didn't have to walk
[01:48.90]Down the street ashamed of your a*s
[01:50.53]So long as you had a hat
[03:06.53]And if somebody was to ask me
[03:07.55]Why I don't get up right now
[03:08.56]And take the next train back to New York
[03:11.59]It's because you can't say no to your childhood hero
[03:14.85]I decided to be his best man
[03:16.02]But one thing I was sure of
[03:18.68]No matter how much I loved the smell of cheap cologne
[03:21.51]I was never going to become my uncle
[03:24.19]And I was never going to sell Cadillacs
