Gods Gift to Man — текст песни (Tom Petty)

Well I met him in the navy

He was the head of the class

She was a cute little thing

He liked the way she shook her glass

And they went off to texas

And they bought some land yeah

And they settled in a hobo

Home by a taco stand

He was doin things he didnt understand

There was no way to exlain it

She was gods gift to man



Well he got a promotion

And he bought himself a color tv

Had the cable put in

And they watched a round of jeopardy

And they sat out in the evening

And they watched the sun go down

And everything they did

They were livin on the outside of town

Well the time went by

That he didnt understand

She was gods gift to man



Yeah baby tell me, tell me real good

Dont you know that were livin just like a young boy should?



Well she went off to houston

Where she was livin in sin

Well he built an office building

But nobody moved in

She wound up in el paso

On the streets again

It was hard to take it

But sometimes you just cant win

It was after a little way

That he didnt understand

And couldnt understand that

She was gods gift to man



Well I seen her on tv just a couple of nights ago

She was a doin a commercial

Smilin with some ivory soap

Well I knew inside her heart was black as coal

There aint no way to replace the amount of lovin that little girl stole

Yeah one day she got it comin

And she wont understand her niche

Shes gods gift to man



Yeah Ive been doin things that I dont understand

Yeah shes gods gift to man

Yeah, yeah ,yeah

Alright, alright, alright
