Townes Van Zandt - Don't Let the Sunshine Fool You lyrics

[Verse 1] Now, me and this friend named, Street-life Brown We got a bottle of red and walked down-town One hand on the jug and one on time He said, "I bet you a dollar against this next line" [Chorus] I said, "Don't let the sunshine fool you Don't let the bluebirds tool you Don't let the women do you Put your hand in mine" [Verse 2] Oh, advice is fine if you've got a mind To listen to the end that's got the time But the musell get you if you don't watch out He's equipped to know what its all about [Chorus] [Verse 3] Oh, Fanon street in the afternoon is An easy way to get out of tune But the hard soap salesman, he said, "No dice" When I asked politely for a better price [Chorus] [Verse 4] Well, here's a song for you, child of mine I hope you make it through this time Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie No reason in the world you can't get by [Chorus][x2] [Outro] Oh, don't let the sunshine fool you
