Paul Simon - That Was Your Mother - Gui Boratto Remix lyrics

Artist: Paul Simon

album: Graceland - The Remixes


A long time ago
Before you was born
When I was still single
And life was great
I held this job as a travelling salesman
That kept me moving from state to state
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
Dancing to Zydeco
♪
Along come a young girl
She's pretty as prayerbook
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
I said good gracious, can this be my luck?
If that's my prayerbook
Lord let us pray
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering what a city boy could do
To get her in a conversation
Drink a little red wine
Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
The King of the Bayou
♪
Well, that was your mother
And that was your father
Before you was born dude
When life was great
You are the burden of my generation
I sure do love you
But let's get that straight
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
Dancing the night away
That's right
