Philadelphonic

Baby we've been through a lot
And times sure have changed
Everybody's leaving town
Looking for better things
But i found what i want
And i got no problem working
I wish to god
That my heart would stop hurting
Shops closing down
Factories outdated
People so frustrated
My whole life is changing
Just trying to find some solid ground
A little house with a picket fence
How's that sound

Love is all i need
Love is all i need

I've seen tears that are
Falling like leaves from the trees
Houses boarded up and they
Threw away the keys
But this town is where we're born
And this town is where we're staying
I'll never ever turn my back
On you ever again
Come on let's be together
I got some money put aside
And if i make it big
Would you take a little ride
Would you promise to always
Stay by my side
Woudl you give me true love
And have nothing to hide
Would you give my your love
Would you give me your love
Would you give me your love
If you want to give me your love babe
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
We can make a change in our life babe
Tonight
It's alright
It's alright

Everyone starts with the sweetest dreams
Living long life living beautiful scenes
Make a million dollars wearing gold and jewels
Drive a big black benz or a carribean cruise
Or maybe you dream that you just can't lose
Or playin blues is the path that you choose
Or perhaps your dream of going back to nature's plan
And just live off the land and be a natural man
Or of a beautiful girl who's holding your hand
Lovin the one you're with, with her beautiful tan
Like you're holding the riff that laying in your hand
Or you dream of playing band from electric lady land
Riffs just like jimi hendrix

Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling
Dreams are like fish you gots to keep on reeling
Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling
Dreams are like fish you gots to keep on reeling
Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling

"stop daydreaming!"
That's what my teachers used to say
While they kick a bunch of crap that i forgot anyway
Educatin's important to make a man complete
But everything i learned in school
I learned again on the street
Now my time is booked cause i've got the look
And when i walk on my path
You know i can't be shook
Stay alert in this day you have to go for yours
The force conspires to help brothers
That help others open doors
Wars and battles, rage round us everyday
While the real troops keep our heads up while we play
This game of chance that they busy calling life
Can be quite a disappointing ride
You can't blame the youth and you can't blame god
Now who you ganna blame wheh the dogs in the yard


Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling
Dreams are like fish you gots to keep on reeling
Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling
Dreams are like fish you gots to keep on reeling
Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling

Wisdon asks "are you ready for this?"
Experience says "the kid can't miss"
Professional advice got you thinking twice
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price
The omen says "walk towards the light
The first impulse is free and it's always right"
Doubt suggests "what you think you can achieve?"
You're just a philly kid from south 2 street
Rappin blues and playig guitar
Now i'm chillin sky's the limit
I'm a rock and roll star
Making funky music hit records are exploding
The free wind is blowing
Higher than the liars jmelting in the fire
How high can you ride?
The greatest victory it was
When we believe in legends getting busy like the man
They call "school's in session" addressing all you people
Like i know who you are 'cause streets are universal and the world is wide
But no matter what you're running from you just can't hide
If you seek the truth, the truest kid you'll find
So trace your tracks a fact's a fact
Three aces one king and a one eyed jack
You ain't going no where until its time to leave
Your wind's just a little story that i'm starting to read


Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling
Dreams are like fish you gots to keep on reeling
Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling
Dreams are like fish you gots to keep on reeling
Are you feeling the feeling that i'm feeling

Come on
Sweepin' the floors
Open up the doors yeah
Turn on the lights
Gettin' ready for the night
Nobody's romancin'
Cause it's too early for dancin'
But here comes the music

Bright lights flashin'
To cover of your liquor
So many people, so many powers,
So many reasons to buy another round drink it down
Just another night on the town
With the big man, money man better than the other man
He got the plan with the million dollars
Give a damn but
When nobody understands
He'll become a smaller man
The bright lights keep flashing
Man the women keep on dancin'

With the clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when i'm down yeah, yeah
Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when i'm down

The disco ball spinning
All the music and the women
And the shots of tequila
Man they'll say that they need ya
But what they really need
Is just a little room to breathe
Teeny bopping disco queen
She barely understands her dreams
Of belly button rings
And other kinds of things
Symbolic of change
But the thing that is strange
Is that changes occurred

And now she's just a part of the herd yeah, yeah, yeah
Man i thought that you heard yeah, yeah
The changes occur yeah, yeah, yeah
She's just a part of the herd yeah, yeah

Lights out shut down
Late night wet ground
You walk by, look at him but he can't look at you yeah
You might feel pity but he only feels the ground because
You understand moods
But he only knows let down
By the corner there's another one
Reaching out a hand
Coming from a broken man
Well you try to live
But he's done trying
Not dead but definitely dying

With the rest of the clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when i'm down yeah, yeah
Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah
Pick me up when i'm down

Sweeping the floors
Open up the doors yeah
Turn on the lights
Getting ready for the night
Nobody's romancing 'cause it's too early for dancin'
But here comes the music

She was just 19 years old
When she left her home
The morning desert sun was at her back
She knew right then
There would be no truning back
Leaving home was the best thought that she had
But now in a parking lot in washington
She asked to herself what had she done
Earth mother bear and eagle was on the run
Two more nights till colorado
And the scene was done
And if flying back home
Was as easy as the run
She realized the there'd be no turning back
Where will you take me?
What will we do?
Where will you take me?
What will we do?
Then a man drove off in a bright white cadillac
She got in that ride and she never came back
She knows what she needs
She said it feels so good to me
She knows what she needs
She said it feels so good to me
Ain't no turning back

No need to pull some weight around
But then i ain't gonna just sit here
Like a clown and just wait around
I'm taking what i've earned to be taking
And you know you only get stronger
When your heart is asking
But me i've had enough of walking around for some red tape
You know it's just a fake
I say it's a big mistake

And we're all human
So there's no need to be taking it
With some honor and harmony
We'll surely be making it
With a little bit of honor and harmony...
Come on!

What shall we choose to be our tactics
In this age of computer taxes oh no
When in this new era to come
We shall be organized and not supervised
From the physical to the spiritual
All our works will be so critical
Our offense and mental will soar
Our ornamental will be so pure
And we won't sweat the expense
In the new millenium
We are raising through the fog
Helping the healing god
The next awakening is you

And we're all human
So there's no need to be taking it
With some honor and harmony
We'll surely be making it
With a little bit of honor and harmony...
Come on!

I saw you at the bar
I was laughing with some friends
I saw you turn your head
I was checking you instead
I asked you if you would like to dance
I really wasn't trying to get into your pants
Not to say that you're not a beautiful young lady
But i drive a chevy nova
And i thought you liked mercedes
Soon enough though
We were allured
Bumping and grinding out on the dance floor
With the system so loud
The vibrations so pulsing
You whispered in my ear
But i couldn't hear nothing
Steered me over in the corner
And kissed me on the neck
That's when i decided ok what the heck
I put my hands on your hips
And i kissed you right back
You kissed me like a shark
That's sniffing on a snack
And then you said "my boyfriend never kissed me like that"
I said "boyfriend" you didn't say he was around
On this friday friday night
When i came and rocked your town

On this friday night
When the feeling's alright
Rockin rock steady grooves
In the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody's standing still
With my arm around my girl
And a hundred dollar bill

The song was over
So we headed for a drink
And whatta you think
She gave another guy a wink
Who came over for a kiss
And asked the girl "who's this?"
She said "that's g. love you know g. and special sauce?"
Then he said "i'm getting louie kid you better get lost"
I asked the girl "who's louie?"
And she said "that's my man"
Women women i just can't understand
Then i says "i don't want to hear about girl problems
And if you got a problem babydoll i can solve them"
But i feel you're gonna get me in trouble
So c'mon let's leave this bar
And go out clubbing on the double
Girl's putting me in a trance
All because she wants to dance
And get down with the man
Who brought the sound
On this friday friday night
When i came and rocked your town

On this friday night
When the feeling's alright
Rockin rock steady grooves
In the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody's standing still
I'm chilling with my girl
And a hundred dollar bill

I can just tell
A girl like you's a deadend
Pressing up against me
Talking about i got a boyfriend
Now here he comes looking for you
On the dance floor
While you're pusing on my knee
Talkin' 'bout i love you more
I'm new in town
Bout i'm no stranger to this
I'm not trying to exit
With a hit and run fix
I get my lvoing on the run
And i like having fun
But i don't sneak around
And i don't gotta gun
Now give me three steps
Like the boy lynyrd skynrd
There's more drama in this room
Than a soap so i figured
Maybe i'll get your digits
And maybe i will call
And maybe we'll slip
Into the backroom down the hall
Or maybe i'll get jacked up
By your angry boyfriend louie
'cause his eyes are getting redder
While his anger's busy stewing on the fire
The little trick in your brought out
On this friday friday night
When i came and rocked your town

On this friday night
Everything is alright
Rock steady grooves
In the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody's standing still
I chillin' with my girl
And a hundred dollar bill
