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
