SHIPPIN BLUES...by Talile Ali
LOOKIN DOWN THE RIVER
PASSIN EVERY SIGHT
TRAVELIN THRU THIS CITY
PLAYIN EVERY NIGHT
THE MUSIC IS EXCITIN'
THE RHYTHM IS ALL THERE
LET'S PUMP IT UP, GET EXCITIN
TIME TO SHAKE THIS WORLD OUT THERE
FEEL THE EMOTION
STEP INTO THE LIGHT
LOCKED TIGHT IN DEVOTION
GOT TO DO IT RIGHT
LETS ALL STEP INSIDE
THE TRUTH AND LIVE
OUR LIVES TODAY
LETS BE SO INVITING
DISH THESE SHIPPIN BLUES
GO OUT AND PLAY
MUSIC IS PUMPIN
HEARTS ARE THUMPIN
THE NIGHT AWAY
FEELIN RIGHTEOUS
AND WILLING
TO BE OK
LOVIN THIS LIFE
I'VE GOT TO SAY
HAPPY TO PERFORM
NIGHT AND DAY
SINGING AND PLAYIN
THE SONGS I PLAY
IT IS THE ONLY
PAY THAT I PLAY
CAN'T HELP
THAT I AM A FOOL
OVER THE
SENSELESSNESS OF YOU
WAS THERE ANYTHING
ELSE I COULD DO
HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE
SAW THE LIGHT IN YOUR HAIR
WISHING YOU WERE HERE AND NOT THERE
CAN'T HELP MY LOVIN YOU
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE ME TOO
TOO BAD LIFE GOT IN THE WAY
MESSED UP OUR LIVING OUR LOVE
THAT DAY
SO RIGHT NOW THERE IS HURT
HOPE YOU SEE THAT I ONLY
WANTED YOU TO BE OK
AIN'T LYIN TO YOU
AIN'T TRYIN' TO SCREW YA
I JUST WANT YOU TO BE
OK
JUST WANT YOU TO BE OK
OK
OK
OK
OK
LONELY IS THE ROAD WHEN TRUTH IS FREEDOM
LONELY IS THE PATH WHEN YOU DON'T PLAY
LONELY IS THE WAY OF BEING HONEST
LONELY IS THE LIFE NOT DOING IT THEIR WAY
OK
NO WAY
BUT
OK.
