Joe Goodson

Joseph A. Goodson (December 1, 1876 – August 29, 1924) was a college football player and physician. He was a quarterback for the Vanderbilt Commodores football team; captain of the 1898 team. Goodson led the team to its first conference title in 1897. The team then played a contest with Virginia for the championship of the south, a tie. The Nashville American reported that, "The Vanderbilt players were in a jolly humor yesterday with their miniature football pinned upon the labels of their coats. Joe Goodson, quarterback, was apparently out of training from a large ten-cent cigar he smoked, a gift of Benjamin Childers of Pulaski. 'Tab' Farrell had his hair cut and other members were more or less changed in appearance." more »

Where can I flee, don’t need to be on my own
Across the street or past the sea
Find my sanctuary
In harmony, no need to weep on my own

To my dismay, my time just passes by day-to-day
Sing, I think, I dream, I scream on my own
Lonesome heartbreak, a dissonance I just cannot shake
Dancing, standing, everything on my own

A Twilight-Zone place, baby, where up is down and no is yes
Nothing to be in tune with my brain
A nightmare so so shady, a social life without success
Is this all there is, is it all in vain?

But I can fly, I’m gonna take this chance
It’s time to find a place where I can dance

Where can I flee, don’t need to be on my own
Across the street or past the sea
Find my sanctuary
In harmony, no need to weep on my own
A jubilee, a jamboree
With friends and a family

A pioneer to greener fields
And a life that’s worth living
And I am free, no need to bleed on my own
That’s where I will be

Here at this place, I’m restless in the wretched rat race
Hang, remain in ball and chain on my own
Dismal disgrace, no rhythm, rhyme, or treble or bass
Pain, no rain, it’s all the same on my own

Bizarro World space, crazy, where nothin’ really does make sense
This terrifying twist drives me insane

Well I must try my best to get away
Head high, stand by, I’ll start without delay
Untie, let fly, my quest is underway

All right, let’s climb, I’ve got to go ahead
Fly high, oh my, I will not be misled
Goodbye, it’s time to put out my wingspread

Dream, I scream on my own
Everything on my own
All the same on my own

Dream, I scream on my own
Everything on my own
All the same on my own

Ah…

Where can I flee, don’t need to be on my own
(Where can I flee, baby)
Across the street or past the sea
Find my sanctuary
In harmony, no need to weep on my own
(In harmony, yeah)
A jubilee, a jamboree
With friends and a family

A pioneer to greener fields
And a life that’s worth living
And I am free, no need to bleed on my own
(I’m free, now, baby)
(Upbeat, now, baby)
(I’m free, now, baby)
(Upbeat, now, baby)
(Complete, now, baby)
