Odyssey of Tiny

Written by: Biff Byford, Paul Quinn, Graham Oliver | Album: Strong Arm of the Law (1980)

A crowded main street
The scene was set
The checked out the view
Turned the radio on
 
Open the case
Assemble the gun
Laid out ready
For the President's run
 
The world was shocked that fateful day
A young man's life was blown away, away
In Dallas one pm
 
White hot lead in the back of the head
Screaming confusion
Shots ring the air
Cadillac racing
Cops on the run
They couldn't believe that the President's hit
 
The shooting's done
Assassins run
Is he dead?
No one will say
 
Around the world
The news was flashed
We sat and watched
Your tragic history
 
The world was shocked that fateful day
A young man's life was blown away, away
In Dallas one pm
