Jesse Louis always waves hello

lyrics

Jesse Louis always waves hello
hangin' half way out his side window
he somehow made me feel half alright
the first time I walked to school alone, he got me there on time
right next door to twilight video
he waves at all the legs who come and go
I used to change my route on purpose like
so Jesse'd see how good I'm getting on my bike
but I got older like they said I would
but the same old kid in the same neighborhood
with bigger shoes and a much bigger bike
still them flailing arms of Jesse caught us as we road by
then one day i overheard at schoole
some teachers talking by the swimming pool
said Jesse lost his baby son and wife
in a fire back in '63, he hasn't spoken since in grief
Oh Jesse, I wish there was something I could do for you
Jesse Louis always waves hello
