Testo He Forgot That It Was Sunday - John Prine
Testo della canzone He Forgot That It Was Sunday (John Prine), tratta dall'album Lost Dogs + Mixed Blessings
The motel lights were blinkin'
On my chartreuse four door Lincoln
On the dock the fish were stinkin'
I simply didn't have a care
And the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
The children hum their Christmas carols
The train tracks all run parallel
But they'll all meet up one day
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the devil playing pocket pool
He's waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was Sunday
We used to tell each other lies
With our orange plastic button eyes
In a former life on a motel chair
I was Charlie Parker's teddy bear
Yeah, me and Bird we'd stay up late
I used to watch him contemplate
While his horn would sit by the window and wait
'Til it was time for him to blow it
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the devil playing pocket pool
He's waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was Sunday
The only song I ever knew
Was Moonlight Bay on the Avenue
These are the tales from the devil's chin
Charlie, I could've been a contender
And the old men sit round the cracker barrels
The children hum their Christmas carols
The train tracks all run parallel
But they'll all meet up one day
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the devil playing pocket pool
He's waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was Sunday
He forgot that it was Sunday
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the ol' red devil playing pocket pool
He's waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was Sunday
And the old men while they're sittin' around the cracker barrels
And the children yeah they're out hummin' ol' Christmas carols
And all those ol' rusty train tracks, they'll run in parallel
But they'll all meet up one day
