Jefferson was always out of luck
I remember when we both grew up
Jefferson got hit by a westbound truck
I guess that didn't make him look like a million bucks
That night when Sally really stole the show
And every boy was captured diggin' for gold
Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
Jefferson is always on my mind
When him and me were runnin' out of time
Jefferson was sure enough left behind
The cops came in and took him by surprise
That night when Sally really showed her game
The neighbourhood would never be the same
Poor old Jefferson got the blame
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
I do believe he didn't do wrong
I say a prayer for someone I care for
That night when Sally really gave it all
And made us small boys look quite tall
Poor old Jefferson left in the ball

ABOUT THE PLAGIARISM THAT SOME PEOPLE NAMED, WIKIPEDIA SAYS: The chorus of the song "God is a Girl" uses a recurring melody piece from "Jefferson", a Roxette song from their Room Service album (2001). The writer of "Jefferson", Per Gessle, made an arrangement with Groove Coverage to receive a rumoured 50% of royalties from the song, though Gessle said that figure was "...far from the truth." Gessle is listed as one of the song's official songwriters/composers on BMI's website.11 years ago
