Cheetum Street

It was late one night in Southern Texas My dad was playing in a rock n' roll band He took me along to a place called Cheetem Street My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time Oh, but a phone call would have been nice Ooh, but a phone call would have 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 living 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 Stevie songs I would sit along side of the fence Now you're doing fine and you're gigging 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 could have turned out so different I wish it could have 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
