I’m 44 this year and haven’t a clue

Let me clue you in, inmate.


You don’t tug on Superman’s cape.

You don’t spit into the wind

You don’t pull the mask off the ol’ Long Ranger.


And whatever you do?
Don’t mess around with Slim.



Got it?

I have it on pretty good authority

Leroy Brown went up to 42nd street.
It didn’t work out too well for Slim.

If Slim and Leroy were still in Chicago the crime rate would be zero, unlike today

That song was originally from the movie The Last American Hero with Jeff Bridges loosely based on Junior Johnson and how he got his start in stock car racing from being a bootlegger.

I was almost named Leroy cause my mom still learning English having come to the USA from Germany really liked the Bad Bad Leroy Brown song, my Dad said no, they were having trouble picking a name and they say the nurse said how about Randy and it stuck.

I saw Croce and the Steve Miller Band at a UNM arena just months before he died. He was a very talented artist.
