Elton John - Rotten Peaches lyrics

We've moved on six miles from
Where we were yesterday
And yesterday is but a long long ways away
So we'll camp out tonight
Beneath the bright starlight
And forget rotten peaches and
The places we've stayed

I left from the dockland two years ago now
Made my way over on the SS marie
And I've always had trouble
Wherever I've settled
Rotten peaches are all that I see

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
Seems I've seen that devil fruit
Since the world begun
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
Seems I've seen that devil fruit
Since the world begun
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun

There ain't no green grass in
The US state prison
There is no one to hold when
You're sick for your wife
And each day out you'll pick
You'll pick rotten peaches
You'll pick rotten peaches for the
Rest of your life

Oh, I've had me my fill of cocaine and pills
For I lie in the light of the Lord
And my home is ten thousand
Ten thousand miles away
And I guess I won't see it no more

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
Seems I've seen that devil fruit
Since the world begun
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
Seems I've seen that devil fruit
Since the world begun
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the
Jesus I'm the one
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
