letra de leonard - bonnie "prince" billy

Loading...

when leonard finally came to california
he was twenty-one years old as i recall
he loved to write a song and pick the guitar
and he came to hang a gold one on his wall

the town in which he lived is not important
but you’ll know which town i mean by the time i’m through
he soon became a famous entertainer
but leonard was a name he never used

he was on his way to having what he wanted
most of all his dreams had been [?]
hey, once he even followed elvis presley
and he wrote a lot of country songs for me

but he laid it all aside to follow jesus
for years he chose to let his music go
but preaching wasn’t really meant for leonard
but how in the h-ll was leonard suposed to know

well, life began to twist its way around him
and i wondered how he carried such a load
he came back again to try his luck in music
and he lost his wife and family on the road

after that he seemed to bog down even deeper
and i saw what booze and pills could really do
and i wondered if i’d ever see him sober
but i forgot about a friend that leonard knew

well, leonard gave me lots of inspiration
he helped teach hag how to write a country song
and he even brought around a bag of groceries
hey, back before muskogee came along

really i’m not trying to hide his showname
or the town in which this episode began
just had to carry on a song for old tommy
if just to see the smilling faces of the band

when leonard finally came to california
he was twenty-one years old as i recall
he loved to write a song and pick the guitar
and he came to hang a gold one on his wall
