Luke The Drifter – Dan Bern – letras

Came home after the moon tripDidn’t have a lot to sayGuess my mind was shot pretty good since seein the Milky WayAnd my gal was kinda wonderin which way it was gonna goAnd so was I by the wayAnd I was not ready to enlist another soul in my researchThat guy’s got no taste, the guy in the corner, he’s John BirchAnd I heard that you bin callin, and I ain’t pickin up the phoneYou came to me in a dream one time and said leave me aloneOh life ain’t tragic mostlyLife is magic somelyAnd I found myself writin long poetic lines with awesome rhymesAnd maybe you’re thinkin Dylan, but to me it’s just that shitAlexander Pope was runnin, and heyDon’t blame me for a crooked noseThat my vocal passage blows a certain wayI am God’s only sonNo mistakin this time aroundAnd how much is it worthTo finally get some sleepWithout heroin or Valerian, or Tylenol PmAnd I figured I might just put my Mexican money where my mouth isGo two hands on the forehand and backhandLike Monica Seles, Pancho Segura, Marion BartoliTo name someOh life ain’t magic mostlyLife is tragic somelyMaybe we’re one too many catsMaybe one of us should be a dogMaybe I just wanna wake up under a hollow logMaybe I’m Luke the DrifterAnd my nature is to driftMaybe I got one masterpiece in me, like Johnny SwiftYeah but if I never get thereI’ll be all right with thatTomorrow sundown could be nothin left of me but my hatHello JohnnyHello JohnnyJohnny let me be the first to welcome you in hereNot sure if there’s a bar, but I bet it’s easy to smuggle in beerSomeone’s makin shortbreadNothing ever smelled so goodJohnny boy I think you’re gonna like this neighborhoodI do not want to live my life from regretEither way, stay or go, go or stayJust do one or the otherWith one of your eyes I fell in love, the other eye’s my friendGuess that’s just how we’ll let this particular story endI played catch with some kid today on the other side of the fenceAin’t seen his face don’t know his name, the best part was the silenceOh life ain’t tragic mostlyLife is magic somelyLife is life AliFrazier?
