Jon Hanson songs
I finished High School in my 20's, College in my 30's (to be an example for my kids, and Graduate School 2 years ago, for me). Dedicated to everyone that sucked at school (I left at age 16) but still worked out a pretty good life, and in my case a fantastic life….!
BAD AT SCHOOL
© 2010 Jon Hanson
I grew up on the poor side of tomato town
So long ago “party” was still a “noun”
I went to work fulltime when I was just sixteen
I wouldn’t recommend it but it worked out for me…
I WAS BAD AT SCHOOL, BUT I’VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD AT LIFE
IT TOOK ME A WHILE BUT I FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT
I got two children and a beautiful wife
Guess you could say they saved my life
Graduated college summa cum barely
By the time I was fifty I had my MBA degree…
I WAS BAD AT SCHOOL, BUT I’VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD AT LIFE
IT TOOK ME A WHILE BUT I FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT
Dale works the Les Paul
I bought a few properties when I was young
Now the tax man thinks I’m worth a million
I spend my days trying to train tenants
Life’s pretty sweet when you collect the rents
I WAS BAD AT SCHOOL, BUT I’VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD AT LIFE
IT TOOK ME A WHILE BUT I FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT
Tomato Town is Reynoldsburg, Ohio I've been around here since 1966. I actually live a few miles outside of town in the next county now.
That's Dale Crockett driving the Les Paul.....and singing. I appreciate the comments on the singing, but it's Dale, I reserve my voice for three note range comedy stuff, my voice it part of the comedy. Jazz version here: CLICK
