WORKTOWN LYRICS:
Worktown
Listening to Lucinda on the back porch with my wife
Looking for Orion, drinking red wine
Little bits of loveliness are falling from the sky
Little slips of my baby’s kiss are saving my life
There’s so much happening tonight here in Worktown
The cool of late September and the changing of the leaves
Sometimes you work all summer just to have nights like these
I hear Latin music drifting o’er the neighborhood
I hear people laughing and life feels so very good
There’s so much happening tonight here in Worktown
Here’s to all you lovers and all of your loved ones
Here’s to all you working people who make this country run
Start a revolution where peace and justice reign
Where hearts and souls mean so much more than just pieces in a
game
There’s so much happening tonight here in Worktown
There’s so much happening tonight..
Carlos and Juanita
Carlos and Juanita moved in across the street
I don’t speak their language but I thought that we should
meet
Carlos works construction for a man named Steven Ross
Juanita she waits tables at Cantina restaurant
Welcome to America
Welcome to this town
Welcome to the neighborhood
It’s so good to have you around
Easily Distracted
I haven’t lost hope, I’m just afraid of that I’m
clinging to you yet
I haven’t felt like this since I was eighteen and I couldn’t
find my way home
I still recall the day when my soul was shot and the days of
needing something
But not being quite sure what and the hours I spent thinking Life
it falls away
I get easily distracted, so much that I forget, I’ve been
awake for hours but not one did I live
You bended out of love, and I felt it, I really mean it dear,
you saved my life that day
But you probably never knew it, ‘cause I just didn’t
say
I get easily distracted, so much that I forget, I’ve been
awake for hours but not one did I live
You hold on to your babies, and draw them near to you but you
can’t escape the fear
That you might lose them, too, ‘cause everybody’s
dying, just keep holding on
When you’re easily distracted and love pulls you along,
but you follow empty-handed the meek among the strong and the
Ghost is all around you and you fall into His arms, you cradle
in His arms, cradle in His arms.
Forever Lady/Some Men
My sweet baby I believe these are the best days I have seen
Once my life seemed so unsure, but I’m not frightened anymore
And I’m not scared to show, and I’m not scared to
open up to you my forever lady
Some men love their money and all that money buys
Some men think success comes best at another man’s demise
Me I’m just a working man, I’ll be one ‘til
I die
Beat up on the outside but there’s a Kingdom here inside
Some men want to take control of every woman that they see
Some men they will pay for it some only take what’s free
But honey I made a vow to you and It’s one I plan to keep
Wanna grow old, baby live for you, live this Mystery
