paroles de chanson Jerry - Speedy Justice

Jerry had it good
He had women wherever he looked
Everybody wanted some time, attention
Handshake recognition
A little bit of songwriting and it's a million
Tens of millions of seconds attention
Recognition

Jerry had it good
Scuba diving in Hawaii
Down where there were no fans
In the pink white sand
Just another fish, another being
Nothing can touch way down deep

And the legend was living
Everywhere he went
Not like bob, he was recognized
Respected, the interviews
Ended well, they wanted to see him
In a good light
Spiritual apolitical

Jerry had the money
And how it took the money
30 years of skag
The best acid
Gaining and losing
New keyboard player every season
And the light show cast shadows
Colors of the fans
Everybody loved him
Didn't even know him

And the money had to keep coming in
Family to think about
Prices going up
Diabetic spike dual purpose
30 years of junk
And then a monster album
We will survive, black muddy river
The fans got younger
New suppliers deeper cuts
Speedball Saturday nights

Jerry had it good
But he would have given it all up
To be clean and be able to handle it
Up in the mountains like Jeremiah Johnson
With Janis and Joan Baez

Joan Didion and Marlon Brando
John Wayne Liz Taylor
And he thought of himself as a slave
Bob spitting on the ingrates, slave masters
Having to play, keep the dope coming in,
The 401k's active for the crew

Cash for the kids, the wives, new cities
The tv people
Barlow and hunter, the notch carved in the arts
History
Thousands of shows millions of notes

And old and sick
Still a rock star
Still all the way alone
But a certain sort of happy
A certain type of happy
