Everlast

Everlast - Album 'whitey Ford Sings The Blues' songtekst

Je score:

The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
       He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
       "Get a job you fucking slob," is all he replies
       God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
       'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
       Chorus
       Then you really might know what it's like...
       Then you really might know what it's like...
       Then you really might know what it's like...
       Then you really might know what it's like...
       Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
       He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
       I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
       But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her call
       And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his
       balls."
       And then she heads for the clinic and
       she gets some static walking through the door
       They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner
       and they call her a whore
       God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
       'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
       Chorus
       I've seen a rich man beg
       I've seen a good man sin
       I've seen a tough man cry
       I've seen a loser win
       And a sad man grin
       I heard an honest man lie
       I've seen the good side of bad
       And the downside of up
       And everything between
       I licked the silver spoon
       Drank from the golden cup
       And smoked the finest green
       I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times
       before I broke their heart
       You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start
       I knew this kid named Max
       who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
       He liked to hang out late
       he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs
       Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head
       He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead
       Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
       You know it crumbles that way
       at least that's what they say when you play the game
       God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
       'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
       Then you really might know what it's like...
       Then you really might know what it's like...
       Then you really might know what it's like...to have to lose
