Everybody (LP版)

Everybody (LP版) - John Prine (約翰·普林)

While out sailing on the ocean

While out sailing on the sea

Bumped into the savior he said pardon me

I said jesus you look tired

He said jesus so do you

Won't you sit down son 'cause

I got some fat to chew

You see everybody needs somebody that

They can talk to

Someone to open up their ears and let that trouble through

Now you don't 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 damn time

I only got a few words in

But I won't squawk let them talk hell

It's been a long long time

Any friend that's been turned down is bound to be

A friend of mine

'Cause everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

Someone to open up their ears and let that trouble through

Now you don't have to sympathize or care what they may do

But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

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

I appreciate you listening to me

And I believe I heard him sing these words

As he skipped out across the sea

Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

Someone to open up their ears and let that trouble through

Now you don't have to sympathize or care what they may do

But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
