They say great cousins come once in a lifetime
and even though we’re from opposite ends of the family,
my heart tells me you’re the one for me.
B-J
I remember when it started, saw you in your room.
you were playin’ games, I was eating food
but I was feeling you, and even though I didn’t understand almost everything you said
you ain't wrong to me, so strong to me, so tall to me
The oldest boy cousin of the family
BJ makes my eyes pop right out of my head
Shot’s impossible- but it’s in instead
Can do anything, the only problem I see
is the chance of you not coming home to me.
Big, big loader- lot’s of fun- that’s not lie
Can’t express how I feel
Yo Daniel let’s ride
And Iowa, Iowa so far away
is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay
Ping- pong- he has no replacement
We could play for hours in our basement
my man, BJ is known for bowlin’
Rollin’, if he can still do it then I can
they call you Bowls, they say your skills are unmatched
When you dunk the ball, the rim never stays attached
Playin’ volleyball in the sand
And another nickname, some call you Rand
So I try to stop admirin’ but you can still see
with your sleepy brown eyes, butter pecan thighs
And your hairy legs…Yeah.
And Iowa, Iowa so far away
come home, and in my house you’ll stay
Used to look at the stars and dream
round the world same stars were seen
And a twinkle in your eyes B—J—.
Talk smooth to me, without a tie
jump to spike the ball, damn so high.
We can take a trip to the baseball game
Triple A cubs—it’s all the same
Hot dogs out of a cannon, and other food
hope you look in my eyes and say I’m havin’ fun too
They say Iowa don’t have the bomb but they already do
They should know by now, it’s you.
And Iowa, Iowa so far away
is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay
You crazy for this one BJ
you can deny Chicago all you want
but you can’t deny that there’s something between us
I know you say you might stay in Iowa
but you’re in Wisconsin now baby
it’s time to stop hiding,
and start living
