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!
