jefferson

Per Gessle

Jefferson was always out of luck / I remember when we both grew up / Jefferson got hit by a westbound truck / I guess that didn't make him look like a million bucks / That night when Sally really stole the show / And every boy was captured diggin' for gold / Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / Jefferson is always on my mind / When him and me were runnin' out of time / Jefferson was sure enough left be behind / The cops came in and took him by surprise / That night when Sally really showed her game / The neighbourhood would never be the same / Poor old Jefferson got the blame / Ooooh / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / Yeah / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / I do believe he didn't do wrong / I say a prayer for someone I care for / I do believe he didn't do wrong / I say a prayer for someone I care for / That night where Sally really gave it all / And made us small boys look quite tall / Poor old Jefferson left the ball / Yeah / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / I'm gonna pray for Jefferson / Pray for Jefferson's soul / a-a-a-a-ah.
