Steve Earle — Dont Let the Sunshine Fool You

[Verse 1] Now, me and this friend named Street-life Brown We got a bottle of red and headed uptown 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] Advice is fine if you've got a mind To listen to them that's got the time The muse'll get you if you don't watch out He's equipped to know what it's all about [Chorus] 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 3] Fanon street in the afternoon Is an easy way to get out of tune But the hard soap salesman said, "No dice" When I asked politely for a better price [Chorus] 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 4] Well, here's a song for you, child of mine Hope you make it through this time Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie Ain't no reason in the world you can't get by [Chorus] And 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 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
