You could see each smiling face
As we all looked your way;
Then you tore into a song
So much you have to say.
You sing about a swimming pool
Dark glasses and your tan;
It's all about life's rules, no dogs;
And glances at you, man.
You tell us all about a girl
Who really broke your heart;
And one who wasn't able
To Love you from the start.
We've all met that plastic chick
She's still got her daddy's name;
And Lawd knows we all know Darlene,
Her car's her only game.
You sing about the Juju man
And love to last forever;
Then became much more like me
No masks, not now or ever.
As cannonball began to fly
You set up special bait;
Made the circus all your own,
And dozens think you're great.
You aim high and tough it out
Dismissing others actions;
With Jumpin' Jack, you dish it out
And oh, sweet satisfaction.
The stage chose you for RocknRoll,
Long days and weary travel;
You chose to hone your craft, build skills,
Write songs and still be clever.
Joe Williams song will still live on
Because you make it so,
The best rendition known to man
Webb's, "Baby Please Don't Go".
You sing with heart and blues and soul
A voice full bodied and so strong;
Guitars like torches cut the dark,
Licks burning in each song.
We like the fact you're fully grown,
And wholly meek, not milder;
You are beloved by your fans
Iconic...you're Webb Wilder.
