The Jordan Waltz-David Roth

[00:00.960]The Jordan Waltz -David Roth [00:14.980]Here's a quiet little song about a man who did a good thing [00:21.60]Tired of the status quo although it brought the world to him [00:27.340]He had a loss and we can only guess at the effect of that [00:33.240]So I guess it's finally time for us to leave him alone [00:41.150]He walks away from something that the world has somehow glorified [00:47.300]It takes it's hold so early on that few can fight the pull [00:53.30]It's the lure of big time money and of hope and fame and glory [00:59.280]That it has it's price and probably always will [01:06.950]The greatest thing that you can do [01:09.970]Is walk away when you are through [01:12.860]No matter what they want from you no matter what they say [01:18.800]You're the only one who'll ever know [01:21.970]Just when it's right to let it go [01:26.700]But I'm still glad I got to see you play [01:46.478]I won't mourn you left the game I'd want the right to do the same [01:52.628]And not because the younger guns are taking their best shots [01:58.647]You took them all and more than once and somehow did this graciously [02:04.817]In spite of all the scrutiny the Nureyev of roundball [02:12.757]I hope you have a good life you deserve to have it back by now [02:18.837]To wrestle with your children to watch a sunset now and then [02:24.807]Remembering there are much bigger things [02:27.987]Than bouncing balls and winning rings [02:32.157]Like love and health and family and friends [02:38.417]The greatest thing that you have done [02:41.387]Is walked away at number one [02:44.457]No matter what we want from you no matter what we say [02:50.257]You're the only one who'll ever know [02:53.557]Just when it's right to let it go [02:58.147]But I'm still glad I got to see you play [03:05.207]I hope we have the chance again someday
