Sweet Potato Pie — текст песни (James Taylor)

Oh, Lord I feel fine today, walkin` on cloud nine today
I`m over that line today, happiness is finally mine today
I guess I`m just a lucky guy, and I`m prepared to tell you why
It`s strictly on account of my sweet potato pie

I`m the fella that she loves the most, the main reason why she
left the coast
She`s my little girl Xenia, that much hotter then a jalapeno`
Tender like the night in June, sweeter then a honeymoon
Brighter then a silver spoon, just as crazy as a loon
Softer then a lullaby, deeper then the midnight sky
Soulful as a baby`s cry, my sweet potato pie

I used to see her around the neighbourhood, wonder how she grew up so good
She belonged to Freddy and he was bad, I was never ready to make him mad
I`m glad I had to wait a while, a little bit too juvenile
I needed to refine my style, silk suite and a crocodile smile
She let the whole damn world go by, cause I just wanna testify
From now on it`s me and my sweet potato pie
