Easter Eve - John Mellencamp[00:00:01]

Well me and my son of only fourteen[00:00:20]

A finer young gentleman you've never seen[00:00:24]

We went out walking on Easter Eve[00:00:29]

Just to pass some time together[00:00:33]

Well he asked me some questions of things[00:00:40]

That I'd done[00:00:42]

But I kept it good natured[00:00:44]

We were just having fun[00:00:46]

And we talked about everything under the sun[00:00:48]

And the Easter bells were chiming[00:00:53]

So we walked for a while into a cafe we went[00:00:59]

For we were hungry from the time we'd spent[00:01:03]

We carried no malice or any contempt[00:01:08]

And both our hearts were shining[00:01:12]

Well we weren't there long before my kid said hey[00:01:36]

There's a man over there[00:01:41]

And he's looking our way[00:01:43]

Pay no attention I said to the lad[00:01:45]

Let's just mind our own business this evening[00:01:49]

Well the man approached said what are you staring at[00:01:56]

And that if we didn't stop gawking[00:02:00]

He'd take us out back[00:02:03]

And teach us some manners[00:02:05]

It was simple as that[00:02:07]

Keep your eyes to yourselves[00:02:09]

You bastards[00:02:11]

So I looked up[00:02:16]

And said why don't you just sit down[00:02:17]

You're walking here sir[00:02:20]

On very thin ground[00:02:22]

There's nobody gawking or looking around[00:02:24]

And you're alarming all of the patrons[00:02:28]

Well I guess that I shouldn't have said that[00:02:53]

Cause he raised his voice said get ready to scrap[00:02:57]

And with that he gave my kid's head a snap[00:03:01]

And said come and get what you've got coming[00:03:05]

Well my son stood up and hit him a lick[00:03:12]

And I tried to stop him but it happened so quick[00:03:16]

Then he smashed the man's head down in the deck[00:03:21]

He was giving that fella a beating[00:03:25]

But the man reached down pulled out a small gun[00:03:32]

And he pointed it straight at the head of my son[00:03:36]

But with a longneck bottle the kid slashed at his jaw[00:03:40]

And the pistol fell down on the table[00:03:45]

Well thank God the cops came[00:04:09]

And broke up the brawl[00:04:11]

There was blood on the ceiling[00:04:13]

And blood on the wall[00:04:15]

I said to my son you know[00:04:17]

You don't win them all[00:04:20]

This has sure been one hell of an evening[00:04:22]

He said you know Dad I never even saw that gal[00:04:28]

But I wasn't going to stand for him threatening us now[00:04:33]

And I hope you forgive me for being so wild[00:04:37]

Here on Easter Evening[00:04:42]

Well they arrested us all and took us to jail[00:04:48]

But ten minutes later we were all out on bail[00:04:52]

And the wife of the man came up to my son[00:04:57]

And said thank you young man[00:05:01]

For what you have done[00:05:03]

You know my husband is jealous and very cruel[00:05:05]

And whenever we're out he always acts like a fool[00:05:10]

And I'm gonna quit him now[00:05:14]

That they got him locked up[00:05:16]

And I hope to hell that he will rot[00:05:18]

Well me and my son of only fourteen[00:05:42]

A finer young gentleman you've never seen[00:05:47]

We went out walking one Easter Eve[00:05:51]

And left with that man's wife that evening[00:05:55]
