Sonny Boy — текст песни (Owsley)

Take Sonny, he`s a real go-getter
A regular man about town
He`s got the world revolving around the music
And keeping his ear to the ground

He falls asleep behind his dark sunglasses
And whispers the words with a smile
D-I-double-G, I love ya, baby
I ain`t seen your face in awhile

She ain`t keeping score, he don`t owe her anything
But she ain`t gonna sit around
Waiting for the phone to ring

Sonny Boy, don`t take your toys away
Save them for a rainy day, yea, yea, yea
An IOU could break her heart in two
She thought you were the real McCoy, Sonny Boy

He`s got his servant and his own dumbwaiter
To answer the phone when you call
Sorry, Sonny`s underneath the weather
Try him back later next fall

The boss called him out to California
Let Hollywood make you a star
Now he`s on the Music Television
And driving a Cadillac car

Funny how fame and money does what it can
To bring about change in the boy
The clothes don`t make the man

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
It`s a game you just can`t win
Though it never will be the same again
Fair-weather friend

I don`t think we`ve heard the last of Sonny
He can`t get it off of his mind
He wants to laugh, but he don`t think it`s funny
A conscience can turn on a dime

When he was a boy, they taught him the Golden Rule
Take him for anything, but don`t take him for a fool

[Chorus]

(Don`t save it `til the morning after)
