Mr Croce, what a fookin BOSS! you can say he wrote some soft songs but they don't build em like Jim anymore, lean, Tall, all 100% USDA man.. wrote one of the most memorable tough guy songs ever leroy brown.. where would we be without Jim Croce? even his name is boss..
"Age" I've been up and down and around and 'round and back again, I've been so many places I can't remember where or when. And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend Never really was a friend at all. I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less, Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time. I've turned inside out and around about and back and then Found myself right back where I started again. Once I had myself a million, now I've only got a dime, The diff'rence don't seem quite as bad today. With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time For something that I never lost or left behind. I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less, Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time. I've turned inside out and around about and back and then Found myself right back where I started again. And Now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top, I've learned a lot of things along the way. I'll be careful while I'm climbin' 'cause it hurts a lot to drop, When you're down nobody gives a damn anyway. I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less, Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time. I've turned inside out and around about and back and then Found myself right back where I started again.
Wonderful music
The most underated lyricist and a more dynamic player than most. He can anger and chill a room like most cant

"Age"
I've been up and down and around and 'round and back again,
I've been so many places I can't remember where or when.
And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend
Never really was a friend at all.
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less,
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time.
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again.
Once I had myself a million, now I've only got a dime,
The diff'rence don't seem quite as bad today.
With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time
For something that I never lost or left behind.
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less,
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time.
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again.
And Now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top,
I've learned a lot of things along the way.
I'll be careful while I'm climbin' 'cause it hurts a lot to drop,
When you're down nobody gives a damn anyway.
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less,
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time.
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again.
