Jefferson

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Per Gessle] Jefferson was, always out of luck I remember, when we both grew up Jefferson got, hit by a westbound truck I guess that didn't make him look like, a million bucks [Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle] That night when Sally really stole the show And every boy was captured diggin' for gold Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow [Chorus: Per Gessle] I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul [Verse 2: Per Gessle] Jefferson is always on my mind When him and me were, runnin' out of time Jefferson was, sure enough, left behind The cops came in and, took him by surprise [Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle] That night when Sally really showed her game The neighbourhood would never be the same Poor old Jefferson got the blame, oh [Chorus: Per Gessle] I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul Yeah, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul My my my, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul Yeah, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul [Bridge: Marie Fredriksson] I do believe, he didn't do wrong I say a prayer for, someone I care for I do believe he didn't do wrong I say a prayer for, someone I care for [Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle] That night where Sally really gave it all And made us small boys look quite tall Poor old Jefferson left the ball [Chorus: Per Gessle] Yeah, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul My my my, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul (Hey!) I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul [Outro: Per Gessle] A-a-a-ah A-a-a-ah A-a-a-ah A-a-a-ah
