Текст Ripe — Young Tom Rose

Wakin’ up in South Bend
Stretched a little too thin to stand
I think I overshot it
Still, I’m havin’ trouble remembering your plan (Mmm)
I thought you were an angel
Said «I was finished when you came to me» (Oh)
You tell me call you Donna
Keep sayin’ “Boy, I’d love to take you with me” (Oh)

She says “I know there’s no good time to say this…
So I won’t tell you my story
Heaven knows I’m not here to preach
I’m just tryin’ to take care of family
The only lesson I would try to teach
That’s my boy upstairs there, detoxin’
Goes by the name of Young Tom Rose
Good kid, bad habits, you know how it goes”
She says “I know there’s no good time to say this
But please take care of my son”

My man
Take a second for young Tom Rose
He picked a hard, hard way to go
He needs a guidin’ hand
So love him as hard as you can
Oh, say a prayer for young Tom Rose
He picked a long, long, lonely road
He needs help from his friends
So love him as hard as you can

I try to pull myself together
Give me just a second, let me please explain
I’m not a junkie, just a playboy
And I never learned to understand that pain
But I’ll do my best to assist, Lord
Oh, angel Donna, won’t you show the way?
Good kid, bad habits, I will do my best to save

She says «I may not have learned how to do this
But please take care of my son»

My man
Take a second for young Tom Rose
He picked a long, hard way to go
He needs a guidin’ hand
So love him as hard as you can
Oh, say a prayer for young Tom Rose
He picked a long, long, lonely road
He needs help from his friends
So love him as hard as you can

Find me in Salt Lake City (Find me)
Won’t somebody, somebody, find me
Sanctuary
I will see you there
Salt Lake City (Find me)
Won’t somebody, somebody, find me
Sanctuary
I will see you there

To every mother’s son
Midway through your marathon run
Somebody’s out there

Sayin’ take care of my son
By the name of the Young Tom Rose
He picked a hard, hard way to go
He needs a guidin’ hand
So love him as hard as you can
Oh, say a prayer for young Tom Rose
He picked a long, long, lonely road
He needs help from his friends
So love him as hard as you can

Somebody find me
Somebody find me
Somebody find me
And love me as hard as you can
Ooh, somebody find me
Ooh, somebody find me
Somebody find me and love me as hard…
