Don't Let The Sunshine Fool You Lyrics - The Essential Guy Clark - Guy Clark

Me and a friend name a Street life Brown 

We got a bottle of red and we walked uptown 

One hand on a jug and one on time 

And he bet me a dollar against this next line 

He said, don't let the sunshine fool you 

And don't let the bluebirds tool ya 

And don't let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine? 

Well, advice is fine if you've got a mind 

To listen to the end that's got the time 

But the muse'll get ya if you don't look out 

'Cause she's equipped to know what it's all about 

She said, don't let the sunshine fool you 

And don't let the bluebirds tool ya 

And don't let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine? 

Fanon Street on an afternoon 

Such an easy way to get it to 

But the hard soap salesman said no dice 

When I asked politely for a better price 

He said, don't let the sunshine fool you 

And don't let the bluebirds tool ya 

And don't let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine? 

So here's a song for you, child of mine 

And I hope you make it through this time 

Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie 

Ain't no reason in the world you can't get by, boy 

Don't let the sunshine fool you 

And don't let the bluebirds tool ya 

And don't let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine 

Don't let the sunshine fool you 

And don't let the bluebirds tool ya 

And don't let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine
