Mr. Rodriguez Lyrics - Imaginary Man - Rayland Baxter

Yesterday morning, I was walking around 

Me and Mr. Rodriguez on the wrong side of town 

The streets were all empty and the houses all burned down 

He reached in his pocket and he pulled out a crown 

And he said 

You're so much like me, boy 

Step outta your dream 

Watch 'em all gather 'round, boy 

It is your turn to be king 

Cause you are the only one 

You are the only one 

I come from a small town near West Beverly 

Right under the freeway, all my brothers and me 

My father was Henry, Mary Jane, Eloise 

They work in a coal mine from age 17 

But I don't see 'em that much no more 

They died one day 

A king from a jester and a queen from a slave 

You are the only one 

You are the only one 

Well you are the only one 

That's for me 

There's a rose in my garden that never grows 

And it keeps me up at night forevermore 

And what I hold in my hand I was told to never hold 

So I let it go 

The slave and the jester 

They met in the park 

A slow song in the distance and a dance through the dark 

One hand to the outside, she waves in the wind 

They circled for hours or what seemed to be them 

She love him in the moonlight 

Soon the morning comes 

Then back to the coal mine when the day is done 

You are the only one 

You are the only one 

You are the only one 

For me
