Mineral Hill - Yo Adrian Lyrics

There I was in the back alley
Behind the bar smoking cigarettes
Smelling dumpster smells crying over you
There he was with a shopping cart
He saw me there through chain link fence
Smoking cigarettes crying over you
He yelled yo girl are you okay
You can call me rocky yo that's my name
I could see the ghosts of gloves on his hands

Yo Adrian, yo Adrian
Where are you tonight are you worrying
Yo Adrian, yo Adrian

He gripped the chain link as we talked
Said he had olympic metals and all
He wore an old wool sweater and a stocking cap
I could see him running those famous stairs
In Philadelphia punching at the air
His breath like smoke in cold morning mist

Yo Adrian, yo Adrian
What did you think when you first saw him
Yo Adrian, yo Adrian

How much did those punches hurt?
Is it worth it now that your brain is shot
Can you teach me how to make it through this life
And how did you know she was the one?
She didn't want you but you fought for her
Then she loved you fierce and she loved you true
How many tears did you cry for him

Yo Adrian, yo Adrian

You've had your problems and I've had mine
No more drinks for me at least not tonight
Cause the crack of dawn is training time

Yo Adrian, yo Adrian
Yo Adrian, yo Adrian
What did you think when you first saw him
Yo Adrian, yo Adrian
