I Was Never Part Of

Tennis Would Be Much More Exciting If They Had Pitching Machines Firing Tennis Was Given To Me To Keep Me Off The Street Corners Of East St. Louis.

Nothing's Perfect Along The Way [in Life], And You Ride The Ups And Downs. It's How You Come Out Of Those And Continue On That I Guess Really Matters.

Back In East St. Louis, Tennis Wasn't The Real Thing. If You Weren't Playing Baseball, Basketball, Football, You Were Kind Of On The Outside.

People Say I'm Around Because I Have A Lot Of Heart, But I Know All The Heart In The World Couldn't Have Helped Me If I Wasn't Physically Fit.
