Townes Van Zandt - Don't Let the Sunshine Fool You [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Now, me and this friend named, Street-life Brown
We got a bottle of red and walked down-town
One hand on the jug and one on time
He said, "I bet you a dollar against this next line"

[Chorus]
I said, "Don't let the sunshine fool you
Don't let the bluebirds tool you
Don't let the women do you
Put your hand in mine"

[Verse 2]
Oh, advice is fine if you've got a mind
To listen to the end that's got the time
But the musell get you if you don't watch out
He's equipped to know what its all about

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Oh, Fanon street in the afternoon is
An easy way to get out of tune
But the hard soap salesman, he said, "No dice"
When I asked politely for a better price

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Well, here's a song for you, child of mine
I hope you make it through this time
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie
No reason in the world you can't get by

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Oh, don't let the sunshine fool you
