Steve Forbert The Sweet Love That You Give Sure Goes A Long, Long Way
Well, the road seems so long before me
I'm feeling confused and hungry
Dark clouds are blocking moonlight
Time is sleepin'
Road signs are all against me
Daybreak sorta takes forever
Cars pass and put me down
I'm tired and freezing
I'll find you and I'll hold you in my memory
And once again I'm living in those harmonies
The sweet love that you give sure goes a long long way
And I, oh I, won't forget it, oh no
Well, I'm trying to be an honest injun
Slow walking down a noisy sidewalk
Cruel words from rowdy cowboys here in boomtown
It seems everybody's shooting six-guns
I'm sick of trying to please 'em all
I've heard tell that it can't be done and I don't deny it
I'll find you and I'll hold you in my memory
And once again I'm living in those harmonies
The sweet love that you give sure goes a long, long way
And I, oh I, won't forget it, oh no
Train coming rolling down the track now
Click clack and I can't go back now
Hot kettle on your mama's stove
And I've heard it whistle
I don't wanna see no fortune teller
I'd rather do without prediction
I'll see it when it's all around me, hey, what's the hurry?
I'll find you and I'll hold you in my memory
And once again I'm living in those harmonies
The sweet love that you give sure goes a long, long way
And I, oh I, won't forget it, no I won't
