Letra de I Want to Learn a Love Song (Live)
I come fresh from the street Fast on my feet, kinda lean and lazy Not much meat on my bones And a whole lot alone, more than a little bit crazyAnd the old six-string, was all I had To keep my belly still And for each full hour lesson I gave I got a crisp, ten dollar billYou see, she was married for seven years To a concrete castle king She said, she wanted to learn to play the guitar And to hear her children singSo, I'd show up about once a week In my faded tight-legged jeans With a backlog full of hobo stories And dilapidated dreamsShe said, "I wanna learn a love song Full of happy things" She said, "I wannalearn a love song Won't you let me hear you sing?"She said, "I wanna learn a love song Wanna hear you play" She said, "I, I wanna learn a love song Before you go away"So, I tried to teach her a couple of chords And an easy melody But it always turned out, she'd rather listen To my guitar and meI could hear her old man laughin' in the den Playin' stud poker with the boys While I sang so soft in the living room Too scared to make much noiseI came one week and the den was dark And she met me at the door And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked 'Til I could not sing no moreYou know, the silence kept on buildin' And her eyes grew much too wide I could hear both of our heartbeats But there was no place to hideShe said, "I wanna learn a love song Full of happy things" She said, "I wanna learn a love song Won't you let me hear you sing?"She said, "I wanna learn a love song Wanna hear you play" She said, "I wanna learn a love song Before you go away"Guess, you know what happened My God, I never been so clean Yeah, I feel like I'm workin' in a Hollywood movie Or livin' out a good bad dreamAnd all them pin-up girls in that tinsel world Never touched me, like she can It took another man's wife in the real world life To make this boy, a manShe said, "I wanna learn a love song Full of happy things" She said, "I wanna learn a love song Won't you let me hear you sing?"She said, "I wanna learn a love song Wanna hear you play" She said, "I wanna learn a love song Before you go away" I guess you know, I stayed
