Garland Jeffreys American Boy & Girl Lyrics

Hey little girl raised on main street
Sniffin' through a dollar bill
Just like Pearl gonna' wind up with cold feet
Don't you know that stuff will kill
Racin' 'round gettin' sick, sick, sick
It gonna' get the best of you
All you need is a little inspiration
Girl it's gonna' get you through

Honey please don't you let me down
Honey please don't you let me down

American son raised on main street
Wishin' from a window sill
Raised on reds and paralyzed by people
I can see you've had your fill
I sympathize with all your saddest feelings
But this is what I ask of you Get yourself a little inspiration
Boy it's gonna' get you through

Sonny please don't you let me down
Sonny please don't you let mе down

Hey little girl lookin' for a new day
You'vе got somethin' on your mind
Passin' out from swallowin' all those qualudes
Take you through the bumps and the grinds
Paradin' 'round tryna' fool yourself
It ain't gonna' let you be
All you need is a little inspiration
Girl it's gonna' set you free

Honey please don't you let me down
Honey please don't you let me down
Please don't you let me down
