Jerry Lee Lewis - End of the road

THE END OF THE ROAD
(Jerry Lee Lewis)
JERRY LEE LEWIS (SUN 259, 1956)

Well, the way is dark, night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waitin' at the end of the road
Well, the stars may not shine, neither the moon
What the heck, we don't want no moon
I'm waitin' at the end of the road
You can jump in my Ford and give her the gas
Pull out the throttle, don't give no sass
Take your foot, step it on the floor
If you get here, we'll rock some more
Oh, the way is dark, night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waitin' at the end of the road

You can jump in my Ford and give her the gas
Flip back the throttle, don't give me no sass
Take your foot, step it on the floor
If you get here, we'll rock some more
Oh, the way is dark, night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waitin' at the end of the road

The way is long, the night is dark,
But I don't mind 'cause a happy lark
Will be singing at the end of the road.
I can't go wrong, I must go right,
I'll find my way 'cause a guiding light
Will be shining at the end of the road.

There may be thorns in my path, but I'll wear a smile,
For in a little while my path will be roses!

The rain may fall from up above,
But I won't stop 'cause the one I love
Will be waiting at the end of the road.

Say, the way may be long and the night is dark,
But I don't mind 'cause a happy lark
Will be singing at the end of the road;
And I can't go wrong, I must go right,
I'll find my way 'cause a guiding light
Will be shining at the end of the road.

There may be thorns in my path, but I'll wear a smile,
For in a little while my path will be roses!

And the rain may fall from up above,
But I won't stop 'cause the one I love
Will be waiting at the end of the road.

C'est drôlement adapté, paroles et musique ...   Tupelo

Premier morceau(ou presque) appris au piano qui renforça mon déjà grand respect pour le Killer  

Ben oui, comme Perkins pour son Matchbox, y a un titre antérieur homonyme qui l'a quand même inspiré, indéniable !

Oui, inspiré mais quand meme vaguement sur ce coup, non ?

Laquelle ? Matchbox ? C'est pôpa Perkins qui a sussuré les premiers vers de la version de Blind Lemmon Jefferson à fifils Carl sans même savoir de qui était le titre, qui a composé la suite...

Oui non, enfin oui, mais je pensais a "End of the road"  

Bah quand même, les lyrics...surtout qu'ils sont "minimum syndical" chez Jerry, 'pis même la mélodie, sisi, y a quequ'chose !
