Lee Hazlewood - The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan lyrics

[Verse 1:] The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordon In her white suburban bedroom in her white suburban town As she lay there neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers Till the world turn to orange and the room went spinning round [Chorus:] At the age of thirty-seven she realized she'd never ride Through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair And she left that phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorize in her daddy's easy chair [Verse 2:] Her husband was off to work and the kids were off to school There were also many ways for her to spend the day She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers Or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way [Chorus] [Verse 3:] The evening touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordon On the rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand And took her down to the long white car that waited pa** the crowd [Chorus:] At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair With the wind in her hair with the wind in her hair
