Earl That's Yo' Life
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
the child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
are we too blind to see,
do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way
Well the world turns
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays in the s
A Lucky Life
We've live a long, long time and all the radios are playing our song tonight
We walk a crooked line 'cause there is a counter life in your jailed eyes
You're never a victim of your generation and you shine on me like a holy light
All of the miracles and conversations rain on me tonight
We've got a one track mind, true as a railroad, always on time
I see it in your eyes, you don't have to talk to me, I know what you're thinking
I need my solitude as much as you do darling, to live this life we came here for
Never for one single solitary moment did I need you more
We live a lucky life
I see it all tonight
We sit and close our eyes
Traveling to paradise or to anywhere we like
We live a lucky life
My home is on the road, the pavement caters to, to my gypsy soul
We walk the tightest rope, we live in a circus, circus of hope
All of the melodies and inspirations shine on me like a holy light
Right in the middle of our conversations you wink at me, saying it's alright
We live a lucky life
I see it in your eyes
We sit and close our eyes
Traveling to paradise or to anywhere we like
We live a lucky life
