Gladys & Vernon -

Gladys and Vernon went out last night

She let him steal a kiss

In the blue moonlight

He’s four years younger

And his jeans are torn

But he looks just like an angel

And his hands are warm

Gladys and Vernon

Need somewhere to live

She’s got a child comin'

Something’s gotta give

She’s poor but in her heart

She knows some day she will

Die rich in a mansion on a hill

Gladys and Vernon

Are down in the church

Prayin' for their baby

Who didn’t make it down to earth

Beside them is his brother

And he gives his mother joy

She cannot take her eyes off

That little poor boy

Good times on Franklin Road
