Everybody — текст песни (John Prine)

While out sailing on the ocean

While out sailing on the sea

I bumped into the saviour

And he said pardon me

I said "jesus you look tired"

He said "jesus so do you,

Sit down son

cause I got some fat to chew"



Chorus:

Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

Someone to open up their ears

And let that trouble through

Now you dont have to sympathize

Or care what they may do

But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to



Well he spoke to me of morality

Starvation, pain and sin

Matter of fact the whole dang time

I only got a few words in

But I wont squawck

Let em talk

Hell its been a long long time

And any friend thats been turned down

Is bound to be a friend of mine



(repeat chorus)



Now we sat there for an hour or two

Just eatin that gospel pie

When around the bend come a terrible wind

And lightning lit the sky

He said so long son I gotta run

Appreciate you listening to me

And I believe I heard him sing these words

As he skipped out across the sea



(repeat chorus)
