Everybody

歌詞

While out sailing on the ocean While out sailing on the sea I bumped into the Saviour And He said pardon me I said "Jesus you look tired" He said "Jesus so do you, Sit down son 'Cause I got some fat to chew" Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to Someone to open up their ears And let that trouble through Now you don't have to sympathize Or care what they may do But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to Well he spoke to me of morality Starvation, pain and sin Matter of fact the whole dang time I only got a few words in But I won't squawk Let 'em talk Hell it's been a long long time And any friend that's been turned down Is bound to be a friend of mine Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to Someone to open up their ears And let that trouble through Now you don't have to sympathize Or care what they may do But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to Now we sat there for an hour or two Just eatin' that Gospel pie When around the bend come a terrible wind And lightning lit the sky He said so long son I gotta run Appreciate you listening to me And I believe I heard him sing these words As he skipped out across the sea Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to Someone to open up their ears And let that trouble through Now you don't have to sympathize Or care what they may do But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
