I used to find a little peace in the lay up line.
When I start sweating, when I start to unwind.
I used to find a little peace under the bright lights.
When I start sweating, I start to unwind.

A little came to me in 1985.
Got in the car, started to drive.
We headed west, put Overtown behind.
Dad was looking for a Hollywood sign.

There was a time I could only impress you.
You can tell by now, I'm only guessing.

They kept asking me to describe,
The logic that was running through my mind.
Ali had Cossell through hard times,
But Wilbon, on this one, had to decline.

There was a time I could only impress you,
you could tell by now I'm only guessing.
If you're saying the clocks run down, and the red light's glowing.
If your mind's made up, then I'll get going.
Turn all the lights down low.
