MARIA HAS A MUSIC BOX SHE WINDS UP MOST EVERY DAY
ONCE A WEEK IS ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE THE MUSIC PLAY
MELODY IS JUST SOME CHILDHOOD LULLABY HER MOTHER
USED TO SING TO HER.
AND THE ROAD DOWN TO THE CITY GOES RIGHT BY MARIA'S DOOR
I OFTEN WALK RIGHT BY HER HOUSE ON MY WAY TO THE STORE
UP THERE WHERE THOSE ITALIAN MOTHERS
DRESS THERE SHIVERING BAMBINOS
FOR THE RAIN
SHE TELLS ME ABOUT JESUS AND ALL HIS GALLANT MEN
I TELL HER ABOUT FANTASY
MARIA SHE'S THIS LADY ON THE WAY DOWN TO THE RIVER
MARIA, SHE'S A MYSTERY
YEA PASSING BY THIS MORNING I DREW A PICTURE IN MY HEAD
OUR BODIES IN SOME CANDLELIGHT THAT GLOWED UPON OUR SKIN
MAYBE IF I TOUCHED HER SHE WOULD DISAPPEAR
LIKE ANGELS IN A DREAM.
David Allan Coe è un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense nato nel 1939, considerato uno dei pilastri della musica country outlaw degli anni '70. Conosciuto per il suo stile diretto, le canzoni provocatorie e la personalità irriverente, Coe ha sfidato le convenzioni del genere country tradizionale, abbracciando temi controversi come l'alcolismo, la violenza e la vita al limite. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "You Never Even Call Me By My Name", "Longhaired Redneck" e "The Ride". Coe ha collaborato con artisti di spicco come Willie Nelson e Johnny Cash, contribuendo a definire l'estetica del country outlaw. La sua influenza si estende fino ai giorni nostri, ispirando generazioni di musicisti country che hanno seguito le sue orme.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
