Goodbye Tubby Smith
Though we'll neverview you at all
As one who had the grace
To bowout erehe'd fall.
C.M. came out of the woodwork
Thenhe whispered to your brain
Andput you on the pinnacle
Of the college roundball game.
And it seems to me that you did your job
Like a candle in the wind---
Never knowin' what to cling to
When the rain set in.
And I would've liked to'vefired you
But I was just a kid
Your "legend"ended long before
Your contract ever did.
Losing games was tough---
The toughest role we ever played
Fallin' from our reign as the elite
And pain was the price we paid.
Even when we crashed
And everything still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that the Tub was tried and true.
Goodbye Tubby Smith
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as no more than just a lame duck coach
Andthe wrong man for this show.
And it seems to me that you coached your way
Like a candle in the wind
Never giving much to cling to
When the rain set in
I would've liked to have fired you
But oh, I was just a kid.
Your "legend" burnt out long before
Your contract ever did.
(of course, to the tune of Elton John's "Candle in the Wind")
Though we'll neverview you at all
