(Words & music by Per Gessle) Intr: Jefferson was always out of luck. I remember when we both grew up. Jefferson got hit by a westbound truck. I guess that didn’t make him look like a million bucks. That night when Sally really stole the show. And every boy was captured digging for gold. Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow. I’m gonna pray for Jefferson. Pray for Jefferson’s soul. I’m gonna pray for Jefferson. Pray for Jefferson’s soul. Jefferson is always on my mind. When him and me were running out of time. Jefferson was sure enough left behind. The cops came in and took him by surprise. That night when Sally really showed her game. The neighborhood would never be the same. Poor old Jefferson got the blame. Oh I’m gonna pray for Jefferson. Pray for Jefferson’s soul... I do believe he didn’t do wrong. I say a prayer for someone I care for. I do believe he didn’t do wrong. I say a prayer for someone I care for. Solo: (2x) That night when Sally really gave it all. And made us small boys look quite tall. Poor old Jefferson left the ball. Yeah I’m gonna pray for Jefferson. Pray for Jefferson’s soul... I’m gonna pray for Jefferson. Pray for Jefferson’s soul...my my my I’m gonna pray for Jefferson. Pray for Jefferson’s soul... I’m gonna pray for Jefferson. Pray for Jefferson’s soul... Aaa... Aaa...

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque l'histoire de Jefferson, un homme malchanceux qui traverse des épreuves difficiles. Il se souvient de leur enfance ensemble, où des événements tragiques comme un accident et des malentendus l'ont laissé sur le côté. Le narrateur ressent de la compassion pour lui et se sent concerné par son sort, exprimant un souhait de prier pour son âme, convaincu qu'il n'a pas mérité tout cela. Le contexte de la chanson semble être une réflexion sur l’amitié et les injustices que l'on peut rencontrer dans la vie. Jefferson, malgré ses malheurs, reste dans les pensées de celui qui raconte, soulignant l'importance de ne pas oublier ceux qui souffrent, même lorsqu'ils sont accablés par le destin. C'est un rappel de solidarité envers ceux qui sont laissés pour compte.
