I wrote it with a golf pencil I pulled out of my blazer
A crest sewn on the chest read “Old Gold Rugby Football Club”
Worn at one time by a man, that at one time went to Yale
Then he worked a while on Wall Street, until the market collapsed

I was in a barroom that was somewhere on the southern shore of Boston
The tender of the bar poured me a whiskey on the house
I had a love for whiskey, I chased it with a beer
I have a love for Boston and I loved writing it there

[Chorus:]

I wrote it in a notebook that somebody let me borrow
“Don’t use all the paper please and if you could bring it back to me tomorrow”
It was a fair request and I was grateful for the loan
I had to jot a thought down I came up with on my own

I wrote it in October and I mention that because
Out of all the months there are I’ve always liked that one the best
I don’t know why I bring this up but there are times I wonder what
Ever happened to that man I wonder after the collapse

[Chorus]

I wrote, I wrote it for you
I wrote, I wrote it for you
I wrote, I wrote it for you
I wrote, I wrote it for you

I wrote it in an hour so, so really not much longer
I put the pencil in the shot glass and I buttoned up my blazer
I stepped out of the bar in to the cold October sun
I must return the notebook it’s not important what I wrote

The 2010 Winter Training program has been posted under Fitness (look left…)

The preseason isn’t far away and life for everyone will be much, much nicer if we all take the time to follow the plan and show up to that first practice with a decent fitness base. No one likes to waste their time at rugby practice doing fitness for the sake of fitness when we could be building and maintaining our existing fitness by actually practicing rugby.

Go to the gym on the weekends and follow the program during the week.
