Nathan Bell - My Favorite Year
My Favorite Year
Words and Music by Nathan Bell copyright 2009

They called him Kid Blue
He wasn’t worth a damn

He was a lousy movie bandit
You were a good man
I didn’t know it then

But now I can see
You were just a kid yourself in 1973
That was my favorite year
From Barcelona
To Marrakech

I was a young man on fire
Couldn’t catch my breath

We fought all summer
I couldn’t help myself
I was fifteen
And I was scared to death
That was my favorite year

We ran out of money
This year we’re out of time


It might have been different
But I don’t mind
I just go forward

I learned that from you
And it’s a lucky man



Who has a job to do
This was my favorite year
So I hope you know

And that you never forget this
I’m happy I was there
To be a witness

I was the luckiest boy

Who was ever anywhere
And thanks to you
Every year

Was my favorite year
