Well, the South side of Chicago is the baddest part of town.
And if you go down there, you better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown.
Now, Leroy, more than trouble,
You see, he stands, about, six foot four.
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover",
All the men just call him "Sir" (Right on).<p>And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong,
Meaner than a junkyard dog.

Additional quotes by Jim Croce

Like the pine trees lining the winding road,
I've got a name, I've got a name.
Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad,
I've got a name, I've got a name.<p>And I carry it with me like my daddy did,
But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid.<p>Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway,
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by.

Operator, well could you help me place this call?
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me.
There's something in my eyes,
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me.<p>But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine, and to show
I've overcome the blow,
I've learned to take it well.
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real.
But that's not the way it feels.
