Intro: (stop)    Verse:1   A jukebox introduced us when the 60’s were still young   If you got the money Honey got my nickels one by one   I tried to imitate that song   It’s not right but Lefty’s gone   And always late breaks my heart    And every song he sang I played the part I heard he was sad and lived alone It’s not right but Lefty’s gone   Instrumental: (stop)    Verse:2   He played the fair in Dallas one year   In the cold October rain   Some folks stayed home in warm   But he sang just the same I caught a chill before I got home It’s not right but Lefty’s gone   And always late breaks my heart    And every song he sang I played the part I heard he was sad and lived alone It’s not right but Lefty’s gone   It don’t seem like he was around that long It’s not right but Lefty’s gone.   Outro:

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques d'un temps révolu, où un jukebox a servi de point de rencontre entre deux personnes. Le protagoniste se remémore avec mélancolie un artiste, Lefty, qui, bien que talentueux, a connu la solitude et un destin tragique. Il se sent très touché par le fait que, malgré le succès et les chansons qu'il a interprétées, Lefty n’a pas trouvé le bonheur et est finalement parti. Les références à une performance sous la pluie à Dallas renforcent ce sentiment de tristesse et de regret face à une vie pleine de promesses, mais marquée par la solitude. Tout cela fait ressortir la douleur de sa disparition, laissant un vide palpable.
