Steve Forbert - Planet Earth Song lyrics

VERSE Down Silver Avenue in rain and mist You're lookin' for Easy Street which don't exist And count the years, yes, and count the years You smash the mirrored walls and you cut your fist You can't control yourself, you can't resist And shed a tear, oh, yes, and shed a tear CHORUS #1 Gotta love to live Gotta wild, old, rambling road, boy VERSE You've seen the queen of hearts get torn in half Beneath the chandelier, the golden calf And diamond rings, yes, yes, yes and diamond rings You've seen them factories and railroad yards And silver moonlit walls with windows barred And all these thing, oh, yes, and all these things CHORUS #2 Gotta love to live Gotta long, old, winding road, boy (INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) VERSE And back in Baltimore the morning came Her face was paradise--you hear her name Can't break her spell, oh, no, you can't break her spell She's bound for distant lands and she won't be back Her voice was soft and sweet, her skin so black And fare you well, oh, say well, well, well and fare you well CHORUS #3 Gotta love to live Gotta lost, old, lonesome road, boy (INSTRUMENTAL OUT) Steve Forbert Welk Music (ASCAP)/ Rolling Tide Music (ASCAP)
