James Taylor - Mona [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Life's good, friends are hard to find and now one of mine is dead
And things I should have said to her, I shall say to you instead

[Chorus]
Mona, Mona, so much of you to love
Too much of you to take care of, Mona, Mona

[Verse 2]
You got too big to keep and too damn old to eat
When you where just a football at your mama's side
I reckon everyone figured you for a barbecue when you died
And here I'm thinking about you
Lying underground pushing up a pine tree in my field
Oh, Mona, Mona, you can close your eyes
I've got a twelve-gauge surprise waiting for you
Since the day she passed away, everything's just the same
Everywhere I go, somebody mentions her name
Sometimes it's easiest to tell a friend a lie
They don't understand the way I feel

[Chorus]
Oh, Mona, Mona, so much of you to love
Too much of you to take care of, so long

[Outro]
Now she is gone and I am left alone as you can see
But ever since I caused her death, well I do miss her company
