Torn Shirt
You've got a torn shirt and you're trying to keep it together,
You got a head full of ideas, but they're each as light as a feather,
You've got a new song, now you're just dying to sing it,
But you've forgotten the words, and so you'll just have to wing it
But you've got the torn shirt, hanging out and waiting for the party to start
You've got your torn shirt, just hanging out and singing the blues.
You ride the night train and you're looking for a little action,
But the girl that you're thinking of, she only thinks you're a distraction
She's got her mind set upon the latest fashion,
And when she looks at you, her brain it goes into traction,
You've got the torn shirt,
And you're hanging out and waiting for the party to start,
You've got your torn shirt, just hanging out and singing the blues.
You've got the torn shirt and you're waiting on delivery of a broken heart
You've got your torn shirt but tell me are you old enough to use?
You're heading on, you're going to write a book,
So you head downtown, well just to have a look
You see the boys and girls, you know they got it together
And if you look too hard, they're going to hit you with the leather
You've got the torn shirt etc...
Camisa Rasgada
Tienes una camisa rasgada y estás tratando de mantenerla unida,
Tienes la cabeza llena de ideas, pero cada una es tan ligera como una pluma,
Tienes una nueva canción, ahora estás ansioso por cantarla,
Pero has olvidado las palabras, así que tendrás que improvisar
Pero tienes la camisa rasgada, esperando a que comience la fiesta,
Tienes tu camisa rasgada, solo pasando el rato y cantando los blues.
Montas el tren nocturno y buscas un poco de acción,
Pero la chica en la que piensas, solo te ve como una distracción
Ella tiene su mente puesta en la última moda,
Y cuando te mira, su cerebro se atasca,
Tienes la camisa rasgada,
Y estás esperando a que comience la fiesta,
Tienes tu camisa rasgada, solo pasando el rato y cantando los blues.
Tienes la camisa rasgada y estás esperando la entrega de un corazón roto,
Tienes tu camisa rasgada, pero dime, ¿eres lo suficientemente mayor para usarla?
Sigues adelante, vas a escribir un libro,
Así que te diriges al centro, solo para echar un vistazo,
Ves a los chicos y chicas, sabes que la tienen clara,
Y si miras demasiado, te van a golpear con el cuero,
Tienes la camisa rasgada, etc...
