Rick Cleary "On the Road Again" with Willy

[I was wrong, Rick didn't leave Ithaca to write for David Letterman or to do stand-up on the comedy circuit. Nope, Rick has joined the Grand Ole Opry as a country song writer. So here's his first release -- climbing the charts with a bullet...]

XC Man

(or I'm...too XC for my shirt...too XC for my shorts...too XC for my spikes...toooo XC!) -- Harry Err (a.k.a. RC)

Well his Asics Gels are leaking
Since she left him all alone
His ancient joints are creaking
Every step a moan and groan
His truck stalls at every corner
He carries on without a plan
Someone should've warned her
To avoid a XC man...

Chorus:
The XC man leads a lonely life
and he has to heed the call
To leave his homestead and his wife
For Rochester each fall.

In parks and around high schools
Instead of home with his dear
He chases other runnin' fools
Trying to win a case of beer
From the hills around Geneva
To the flats of Oswego
It's sure hard to believe a
XC man can could let her go

Chorus...
