Testo Leave the Lights On - John Prine
Testo della canzone Leave the Lights On (John Prine), tratta dall'album Lost Dogs + Mixed Blessings
Feelin' kinda bony
On the telephoney
Talkin' to Marconi
Eatin' Rice-A-Roni
Nominated for a Tony
For actin' like a phony
Watchin' Twilight Zone-y
On my 42-inch Sony
This is just a long song
It ain't no poem
Leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
It's like sittin' in the kitchen
When the music's really bitchin'
Your nose starts to itchin'
As you count your old age pension
Did I forget to mention
The ride that I was hitchin'
To the aluminum convention?
I had such good intentions
Keep your cotton-pickin' fingers
Off my song poem
And leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
Leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
Leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
Don't forget your toothbrush
Your hairbrush and your comb
Leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
Got a big old dog
A chrome crowbar
I keep that mother humper in the backseat of my car
Me and Billy Shakespeare
Stepped out to get a root beer
We sat together so near
People thought we were queer
But you waited by the big steer
We joined the Air Force right there
To defend our country first class
We couldn't give a rat's ass
Don't you tell me that the White House is my home
Leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
Leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
Leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
Don't forget your toothbrush
Your hairbrush and your comb
Leave the lights on 'til your baby gets home
Got a big old dog
A big iron bar
I keep that mother humper in the backseat of my car
It's like kissin' Greta Garbo
With a mouth full of marbles
Like tryin' to cash a paycheck
In the middle of a train wreck
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on
Like tryin' to get around
With a car made of bondo
Like speakin' German lingo
To a dog named Dingo
Lights
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on
Like a French fry quesadilla
In a franchise pizzeria
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on
A big iron bar
I keep that mother humper in the backseat of my car
