A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Allen was the son of U.S. Representative Alfred Gaither Allen. After attending Kenyon College as a psychology major, spending a semester at the Columbia University School of Journalism, and working for the Cincinnati Reds as a publicity director and traveling secretary, he began his writing career with the Cincinnati Enquirer, and wrote the Cincinnati entry in the Putnam Publishing series on the Major League Baseball teams.
He authored other books, including histories of the National League and American League, the World Series, and a volume about the Giants-Dodgers rivalry. He was also a frequent contributor to The Sporting News, including articles to their annual publications as well as a weekly column called "Cooperstown Corner".
Robert Lee Allen (born May 22, 1927), was an American politician who was a Republican member of the Utah State Senate. He was a farmer, rancher and real estate broker. Allen was also commissioner of Box Elder County, Utah from 1993 to 2000.
Verse I:
I don’t know where my head went to
Cause all it does now is think of you
We got story that’s still untold
Let’s get together till we grow old
People tell me we’ve got time
But they cant feel you on my mind
Why put off our tomorrow when we can start today
Chorus:
Come on lets go, for a ride, Lets get crazy
I’ve been thinking there is something we should do
Cause I don’t think I can wait another day
To hear those small town church bells sound
Lets hurry up and settle down
Verse II:
Things like this you cant rush into
But I just got your named tattooed
On a heart of gold etched in stone
Wear it on my neck so I’m not alone
I cant wait to feed you cake
Watch em’ fight for your bouquet
Carry you in your pure white
Dress I’m praying you’ll say yes
Bridge:
We’re running down that isle
Your dad winks at me and smiles
Kiss you and puts you in my hands
My heart starts to race
Tears are falling down your face
There’s no need to ask, You know I do
Verse III:
