Testo Back from the Dead - Mac Davis

Testo della canzone Back from the Dead (Mac Davis), tratta dall'album Will Write Songs For Food

Well, just in case you might've worried
I was dead and gone and buried
Well, I guess it's time I set the record straight
I just have to take some time to hose off
Shine my boots and dust my clothes off
Fresh my pants, get some rest, and clean the slate
Those reports of my cremation were a gross exaggeration
'Cause no matter what you might've heard or read
I just took alone vacation, now I'm back in circulation
Gimme five, I'm alive, back from the dead
Well, somebody might've told you
That I joined a Foreign Legion
Rode a camel off into the desert sun
You might've heard I wound up
Smokin' dope and sportin' dreadlocks
In some hippie commune, nothing or I've done
You might've heard a mention I become a hare Krishna
Bought a tambourine and shaved my curly hair
Well, the truth of the matter is, just stop charge my batteries
Now I'm back, and that's a fact, back from the dead
Just when you thought it was safe to go to sleep
I'm looking under your bed
Out from the night, into the spotlights I lead
I've been bat outta hell, back from the dead
Well, you might've heard a rumor
That I fall and broke my pelvis
You might've heard I spent some time in jail
You might've thought you saw me
At the Burger King with Elvis
Lord, you might've thought I died and went to hell
You might've seen my picture in the National Enquirer
Have looks with Jimmy Hoffa at Club Ned
But just when you were certain that I flopped the final curtain
Son of a gun, here I come, back from the dead
Yeah, just when you thought it was safe to go to sleep
I'm looking under your bed
Out from the night, into the spotlights, I lead
I've been bat outta hell, back from the dead
Well, you might've thought that you saw me
Up on stage with Buddy Holly
Patsy Cline, Jim Reed, and Marylin Monroe
Singin' "Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me"
In a cheesy lounge in Vegas
In some Dead Star impersonator show
You might've thought I formed a rock and roll band up in heaven
But I'd really rather do it live instead
So get those cameras focus, you 'bout to see some hocus-pokus
Say Shazam, here I am, back from the dead
Say Shazam, alacazam, lucky damn
Here I am back from the dead
