Marley Purt Drive Lyrics By Jose Feliciano

    sunday morning woke up yawning filled the pool for a swim
    pulled down the head and looked in the glass just to see if i was in
    went up the stairs and kissed my women to make her come alive
    ’cause with fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids
    i got to go for a sunday drive
    fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids
    i got to go for a sunday drive
    that’s how they are so i grabbed out the carconvertible fiftynine
    headed for the freeway tried to find the pasadena sign
    ten miles and three quarters more i wasn’t feeling any more alive
    ’cause with fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids
    i got to go for a sunday drive
    fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids
    i got to go for a sunday drive
    i used to be a minstrel free with a whole lot of bread in my bag
    i used to feel that my life was real but the good lord threw me a snag
    now i’m gonna be the same as me no matter how i try
    ’cause with fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids
    i got to go for a sunday drive
    fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids
    i got to go for a sunday drive
    turned ’round the car and headed for home i guess i realized my fate
    ten miles and three quarters more i pulled up outside the gate
    twenty more kids were stood inside and that made thirtyfive
    ’cause with an orphanage full of thirtyfive kids
    i got to go for a sunday drive
    an orphanage full of thirtyfive kids
    i got to go for a sunday drive
    sunday morning woke up yawning filled the pool for a swim
    pulled down the glass and looked in the mirror just to see if i was in
    went up the stairs and kissed my women to make her come alive
    ’cause with an orphanage full of thirtyfive kids
    i got to go for a sunday
