Don't Look at My Shadow
New York City years ago tourists in the rain
Singin' on the swing shift for pennies
Thinkin' 'bout the bayou cajun river song
Almost got my head broke in Texas
Purple Peacock Honky-Tonk in Eunice Louisiana
Bourbon whiskey free son just tune up the piano
Workin' clubs in New Orleans bringin' down a dollar
College boys drink beer and throw the bottles
Chorus:
It's been a long long long way I've got some more to go
Don't look at my shadow its behind me
It's been a long long long way in twenty years or so
Thinkin' 'bout those times might amuse me
Instrumental + Chorus
L.A. Forum Sports Arena twenty thousand fans
Glad ya come to listen I'm gonna give you everything I can
I always had to play my music play it best I could
Hope you understand hear me good
You know the California dreamin' nearly put me down for good
Colorado Rocky Mountains saved my senses
Chorus and fade
