She said there’s got to be more as she threw open the door
and walked right outta my life
Grabbed my blue swede shoes and started singing the blues
everywhere and every night
I felt like a grifter or a high plains drifter
in an old John Ford Movie
Till one gray day I let it all slip away and
crashed my chevy right into the Levy
(Chorus) Fmaj7 C Am G Fmaj7 C/E D7sus4 Bbsus2 Dm7 G7sus4
And the songs that were sung are still fresh on our tongue
As a Caribbean Sunrise
Naive and bold, said we’d never grow old,
Had stars shining in our eyes
Oh but it’s all a part of the story of our lives
Headed out to LA in my old Chevrolet,
cause that’s where stories are told
But they’d taken the gold from the yellow brick road
Now it was crumbling down and old
But I stumbled on, on the wings of a song
that my gu’itar tore apart
I kept spinning my wheels so I just couldn’t feel
The big black hole I Had in my heart
And the songs that were sung are still fresh on our tongue
As a Caribbean Sunrise
Naive and bold, said we’d never grow old,
Had stars shining in our eyes
Oh but it’s all a part of the story of our lives
Then my luck began to turn, my big frown turned upside down
Guess an old dog can still learn, as long as this old world keeps
whirlin’ Round
