Who Drove The Red Sports Car? Lyrics


Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summertime
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines
And who said follow the man it's your only chance
Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own
And who said
Look at you, look at you
You got jam on your face and
Who did your homework and read your Bible,
And signed your name everyplace and
Who said fortunes untold don't go by gold,
You're much better known
You got to make it on your own, on your own.
And do you remember, do you remember
I said a long time ago when I came walkin' down

I came walkin' down
Maggie's place
It started comin' on rain,
It started comin' on rain,
Cause I had nothin' on but a shirt
And a pair of pants
And I was gettin' wet,
And I was gettin' wet,
Saturated, saturated
And Maggie opened up the window
And Jane swung out her right arm,
She said, Hi! I said, Hi! ya.
How're your doin' baby.
She said, Come on in out of the rain
Come on in out of the rain, Lord,
Come on in out of the rain.
Sit down by the fireside
Dry yourself,
Do, do it,
I got caught,
I got caught,
In a bag.

George Ivan Morrison (generally known as Van Morrison) (born 31 August 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since 1958. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll.

Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, writing their 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career, starting with the album Astral Weeks.

Morrison has pursued an idiosyncratic musical path. Much of his music is tightly structured around the conventions of American soul and R&B, such as the popular singles "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Domino", and "Wild Night". An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as his classic album Astral Weeks and lesser known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic Soul," and Morrison rejects the characterization of his genre of music as Rock, citing Elvis Presley as a non-influence.

He continues to perform regularly, and achieved his highest U.S. chart position (number ten on the Billboard 200) with his latest album, Keep It Simple.
