Píseň: A Little More Like Me (The Crucifixion)

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
The Gambler
It was an April night 
and I was driving
Went out on the town
The show was at the palace
So we all went on down


We all had a bomb as I recall
But now it seems absurd
As the madness raged upon the stage
He didn't say a word


He was a little weak 
and we all fear
It wasn't one of us
He didn't drink, he didn't smoke
And he didn't [Incomprehensible]


You'd see him now and then
With a bunch of men 
hanging around the sea
And I'm sure I would have liked him more
If he were a little more like me


It was a spring each day
The clouds were gray
Looked like in my dream
Thought about the night before
And I was so ashamed


When I heard what they had done to him
Stranger I had known
But as drunk as we all got last night
It's a wonder we got home


He was a little weak 
and we all fear
It wasn't one of us
He didn't drink, he didn't smoke
And he didn't [Incomprehensible]


You'd see him now and then
With a bunch of men 
hanging around the sea
And I'm sure I would 
have liked him more
If he were a little more like me


And I'm sure I would have liked him more
If he were a little more like me
