James Brown Lucky Old Sun
I hope that this song, ladies and gentlemen
Brothers and sisters, kids alike
Dedicated to the problems around the world
And right here in our home
Up in the morning, out on the job
I work like the devil for my pay
But the lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Oh, oh...
Work for my wife, toil for my kids
I sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray, oh...
But that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Let me say it...
Good Lord up above, can't you see I'm climbing
And I got tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
I want you to lift me to paradise
Oh, wow... show me that river, take me across
And just wash all my troubles away
While that lucky old sun don't have nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Lookit here...
Pikselin [?], take your time, son
Mmm...
Can we go to that bridge, one more time?
Soul sent on an inner quest [?]
Good Lord up above, can't you see I'm climbing
I got tears all in my eyes
Send down, send down that cloud with a silver lining
Oh, lift me, lift me to paradise
Oh! Show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away
While that lucky old sun God has made
Don't have nothing to do
But roll around, oh...
Don't have to worry about bills to be paid!
Good Lord
Don't have to worry about somebody coming along
And taking that beautiful life
Don't have to worry about grandma
Going down the street and not being safe
Don't have to worry about little brother
Standing out there, and getting blown away!
Don't have to worry, oh...!
Don't have to worry, yeah, oh naw
We're just asking all of the radio stations
And telling them that around the world
To let up a little bit, so we can all roll around
Just roll around... unity in your community!
Heaven all day, oh no...
Life can be sweeter, sweeter!
Aaaahh, yiiiieah, all night
Just roll around heaven all day
