Al he sells records down on old St. Charley's St.

He's cleaning up Fat Tuesday's mess he keeps his sidewalk neat

And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife

And if it wasn't for the music he couldn't get on with his life

CHORUS: And he knows what I know

It's not all that hard to survive

You take the good and the bad and the time in between

It lets us know we're alive

Well now Be Be's singing gospel and down on Bourbon she sings the Blues

She plays on all my heart strings curls my toes up in my shoes

And she knows waht I'm after chase my dreams with all my might

She says you shouldn't be so anxious and deep down I knwo she's right

REPEAT CHORUS

Well get on board the rocket step right into the front car

You know life's a roller coaster, it ain't got no safetly bar

Raise your voices up with laughter bring it in with one big sigh

Consecrated in the wonder;

We're alilve

Norman he plays music but only in my dreams

Shows me all the beauty that soulful music brings

But sometimes he's a spectre and I wake up clenched with a fear

But lesson good or bad he always keeps me clear

REPEAT CHORUS
