He wore a song around his neckLike some medal of honorHe carried his wisdom like a knifeAn empty pocket was a temporary chainKnowing you've got it comingAin't no crimeEvery blue note that rolled off his tongueYou could feel his soul twisting right in twoNobody knew where he came fromAh but everybody knew, everybody knewHe was the real thingNo doubt about itThe kind that you remember when they're goneThe real thingPut here for a reasonWe knew someday the whole worldWas going to know his nameHe was the real thingShe whispered in his ear, and he heard the thunderSinging 'bout a world he never knewHead spinning round, he began to wonderWas he made to love her, or born to sing the bluesLetras de cancionesHe searched inside him for an answerBut all he found was a troubled mindHe left her somewhere on the blue highwayOh it wasn't just another love that he left behindIt was the real thingNo doubt about itThe kind that you remember when it's goneThe real thingNot like passion's fireBut a burning, smoldering, eternal flameIt was the real thingAnd sometimes at night he longs for her whisperBut he hides from the dawn, 'cause he always wakes to find her goneIn some broken down dressing room in some major cityThe thunder plays an old familiar tuneHe spies a face of a distant angelOutside, beneath the halo moonFinger on the trigger, needle in the veinOne more bullet, it might be your last rideThis is ain't no no-show, this ain't no nervous breakdownAnd it sure as hell ain't the time to let the fool decideThis is the real thingNo doubt about itWho cares if they love you and you're goneThis is the real thingSo you were put here for a reasonBut what gives you the right to quit when you're tiredAnyway boy, this ain't no gameThis is the real thingHe wore a song around his neckLike some medal of honorHe carried his wisdom like a knife From Letras Mania
