Cheetum Street lyrics

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 Cheatem Street
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
Oh 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 did
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
Oh 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 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
Ohhh 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
