America Street lyrics

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
