In Response To: POWERLIFTERS PRAYER (PAT CARROLL)

This is a song I played around with a few years ago. Your welcome to use it. The Hospices are a wonderful organizations. They helped me care for my late wife Linda the last 9 months of her life with dignity and support. Good luck with your fund raiser.

Only Powerlifters Can Sing the Blues!

My federation has left me.
I'll never be the same!
My double ply bench shirt blew out.
And my squats are kinda lame!

Chorus: (Repeat after each stanza)
I got those Federation Blues! Baby!
Will the Iron Game ever be the same?
I got those Federation Blues! Honey!
But, Lord how I love that Iron Game!

I have my lifting belt pulled real tight,
And I have chalk dust on my hands.
I'm proud to be a powerlifter, baby.
On the lifting platform I'll make my stand!

I've got to pause on my bench!
I've got to take my squats real low.
Don't let me hitch on my big pull.
Lord let me make my big tot-al!

Box squats and Good Mornings!
Board Benches and J.M.s.
Don't forget my G.P.P., Baby.
When will my workouts end?

Now I do my low box Hatfields.
Or my high box Mantra Rays!
Doing my speed box squats
With bands all the way!

Got great big bags of ice.
And horse liniment because I'm real sore.
Can't forget to do my reverse hypers.
Before I go out that darn gym door!

I'm drinking protein shakes by the gallon
Popping my vitamins everyday.
I'm loading up on my veggies
And at night I take my ZMA!

Now Eddie Coan is my hero.
So are Don Rienharth and Terry Todd!
Many great lifters have passed on before us.
How they are powerlifting for God!

Now powerlifting forums are crazy!
The Internet debates are always mean!
Louie Simmons has warmed us,
"It's a real bad bad scene!"

They bash NASA and Rich Peters,
Always picking on the IPA and Charlotte.
They denounce the APF's Ernie Frantz,
Seems like all the Federations are catching heck!

Now my rhymes are not very good.
In fact they may be kinda lame.
I just know that I love moving Iron,
So I'll sing the Federation Blues just the same!
