Who Drove the Red Sports Car Lyrics


Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the linesAnd 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 placeIt 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, I was gettin' wet, saturated, saturatedAnd Maggie opened up the window
And Jane swung out her right arm
She said, "Hi!", I said, "Hi, how're you 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, in a bag

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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.
