Letra Don't Let the Sunshine Fool You - Steve Earle

Don't Let the Sunshine Fool You

Now, me and this friend named Street-life Brown
We got a bottle of red and headed uptown
One hand on the jug and one on time
He said, «I bet you a dollar against this next line»
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»
Advice is fine if you’ve got a mind
To listen to them that’s got the time
The muse’ll get you if you don’t watch out
He’s equipped to know what it’s all about
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»
Fanon street in the afternoon
Is an easy way to get out of tune
But the hard soap salesman said, «No dice»
When I asked politely for a better price
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»
Well, here’s a song for you, child of mine
Hope you make it through this time
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie
Ain’t no reason in the world you can’t get by
And 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
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
