Jefferson - Roxette

Jefferson was always out of luck

I remember when we both grew up

Jefferson got hit by a westbound truck

I guess that didn’t make him look like a million bucks

That night when Sally really stole the show

And every boy was captured diggin' for gold

Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

Jefferson is always on my mind

When him and me were runnin' out of time

Jefferson was sure enough left be behind

The cops came in and took him by surprise

That night when Sally really showed her game

The neighbourhood would never be the same

Poor old Jefferson got the blame

Ooooh

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

Yeah

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

I do believe he didn’t do wrong

I say a prayer for someone I care for

I do believe he didn’t do wrong

I say a prayer for someone I care for

That night where Sally really gave it all

And made us small boys look quite tall

Poor old Jefferson left the ball

Yeah

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul

I’m gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson’s soul
