Townes Van Zandt - Talking thunderbird blues слова песни
by Townes Van Zandt
Among the strangest things I ever heard
was when a friend of mine said "Man, let`s get some thunderbird"
I said "What`s that?" he just started to grin
slobbered on his shirt, his eyes got dim
he said "You got fifty-nine cents?"
I said "Yeah, I got a dollar, but don`t be a smart-aleck
I ain`t gonna spend it on no indian relic"
and he said "Thunderbird`s not an old indian trinket,
it`s a wine, man, you take it home and drink it."
I said "It sure don`t sound like wine to me"
and he said he`d bet me the change from my dollar
We hustled on down to the nearest U-Tate-Um
the guy wanted my ID, I whipped her out and showed him
he got a green bottle from the freezing vault
my friend started doing backward somersaults
through the cottage cheese
Took it back to his house, started drinkin`
pretty soon I set in to thinkin`
"Man, this thunderbird tastes yummy, yummy, yummy
and I know it`s doing good things to my tummy, tum..., t..."
it`s so you reason when your on that crap
Got a few more bottles, chugged them down
I pulled myself up off the ground
decided I go see my dearest sweet wife
who met me at the door with a carving knife
said "Get them damn grape peel from between your teeth."
I could see we`re gonna have a little misunderstanding
I said "Dear, I better get in touch with you later"
She said "Forget it, man, you`re never touchin` me again!"
Now I`ve seen the light and heard the word
and I`m staying away from that ol` dirty thunderbird
a message come from heaven radiant, and fine,
all I drink now is communion wine
six days a week
