Michael Collins (Live)

I was born on Halloween, in Roma, Italy

Just another white boy staring at the stars

And when I turned 39

Me and the boys we hit the sky

And we headed where we'd never been before

Yeah, one small step for man

Jesus, Goddamn

22 hours hanging in the air

Sometimes you take the fame

Sometimes you sit backstage

But if it weren’t for me

Them boys would still be there

Oh yeah

Now when it came time to land

Those two they shook my hand

They said, “we’ll call you up when we need a ride”

And they went down to the ground

And I floated around

With all them stars still twinkling in my eyes

Yeah, one small step for man

Jesus, Goddamn

22 hours hanging in the air

Sometimes you take the fame

Sometimes you sit backstage

But if it weren’t for me

Them boys would still be there

Oh yeah

Now them history books will write about that fateful night

Ah them two fellas dancing on the moon

Yeah but they won’t say nothing bout me

Waiting patiently

To bring them boys safely back home to you

One small step for man

Jesus, Goddamn

22 hours hanging in the air

Sometimes you take the fame

Sometimes you sit backstage

But if it weren’t for me

Them boys would still be there

Sometimes you take the fame

Sometimes you sit backstage

But if it weren’t for me

Them boys would still be there
