22 Years Written by John Curulewski Lead vocals by James Young, Dennis DeYoung
I've got a crazy little mama Lord, she's my heart and soul I don't even have to tell ya she knows how to rock and roll
well this crazy lovin' mama makin' everything all right I don't even have to tell ya she makes things seem outta sight all right
whenever I'm down and nothings going right at all I just think about my baby and all I've got to do is call
when the evening's looking pretty and the day's hanging out too long I know my baby cares about me right or wrong
it took a long time to find her it took a lot of laughs and tears it took a long time to find her it took me 22 years
I've got a crazy little mama said, Lord, she's my heart and soul yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I don't even have to tell ya she know's how to rock and roll
well this crazy lovin' mama makin' everything all right yeah I don't even have to tell ya she makes things seem outta sight all right
it took a long time to find her it took a lot of laughs and tears it took a long time to find her it took me 22 years oh my
22 years 22 years 22 years 22 years 22 years 22 years 22 years
Interpretation
From styxophrenic@hotmail.com:
I have a possible interpretation to 22 Years. John Curulewski was born in 1950. 1950 + 22= 1972. Since he found the person he was searching for, it could mean that he was married in 1972, and had Jamie, his son, in 1974. This info is found on the back of the Man of Miracles album. It says, "Welcome, Jamie!!!" One of the reasons he quit Styx, a year later, was to spend time with his family. That would have made Jamie one year old. Good enough reason!
