Cheatem St. (Demo)It was late one night in Southern TexasMy dad was playin' in a rock and roll band He took me along to a place called Cheetum Street My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time Oh, but a phone call woulda been nice I guess you're stuck with what was given to you And the world couldn't change my spirit This will remain the same You were young and livin' like you wanted to I understand because I packed up and left just like you At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands Ooh, in so many ways you did I don't want to have you worry no more Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started So we can move on I want you to know I really needed you then And I can use you now I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs I would sit along side of the fence Now you're doing fine and you're giggin' here and there It's been nice to know you for the past few years When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure I wish it coulda turned out so different I guess you're stuck with what was given to you And the world couldn't change my spirit This will remain forever I don't want to have you worry no more Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started So we can move on |
