Minstrel Boy Howling at the Moon Songtext
von Jimmy LaFave

Flashing across a prairie in an uncontrollable rage
Living in the vision you find on your way to the grave
Looking for a reason the world turned its back on you
Hoping that your message will somehow make it through
You′re a minstrel boy howling at the moon
Troubador singing a well-worn tune
Faded painting of some other place
See the tears of joy running down your face
Cause you know you've got to keep pushing on
And you know that you′ve got to always sing your song
Someday it may take you to where you really need to be
Where roman candle people explode across the night so beautifully
If you read a good book you never want the words to end
Lead a good life you probably want to live it again and again
Don't worry about moving on to some higher plain
Just give all the love you got inside never stop to take down names You got gypsy patterns in every line of your face
Chiseled there are the memories that can't be erased
And you find it so easy these days to keep your faith
When the things you love the most return to you some day
For now you know you′ve got to keep pushing on
And you know that you′ve got to always sing your song
Someday it may take you to where you really need to be
Where roman candle people explode across the night so beautifully
You're a minstrel boy howling at the moon
Minstrel boy howling at the moon
Minstrel boy howling at the moon
Well-known troubadour singing a well-worn tune
Well-worn tune
Minstrel boy
Just howling at the moon
