Verse———

Looking down on the Rocky Mountains

on a jet plane flying over

peering out the window clouds pass me by

Well I must have been crazy,

to love a wild fire.

A wildfire explodes then it’s gone.

Chorus 1 ———

And a change in the weather,

the wind changes direction.

Just a signal that the fires gone cold.

the times we spent in love

are the times that last FOREVER.

Sure gonna miss them when they’re gone.

But they’ll keep me warm

Yes they keep me warm

Ohh they Keep Me Warm

Wishing you were here with me

drinking my bourbon whiskey,

just one kiss of your lips would light up the sky.

Streets of Philadelphia

Golden Sun of California

freedom sings her song, the greatest gift of all.

Chorus 2 ———

Well Ive been around the world

this old world a few times

One thing I’ve learned I will explain

the times we spent in love

are the times that last FOREVER.

Sure gonna miss them when they’re gone.

But they’ll keep me warm

Yes they keep me warm

Ohh they Keep Me Warm

ALL THE TIME

So many voices chiming through my head

When I feel her eyes upon me

Home is where you make it

Sweet home should come easily

Could be on some distant beach Im a lying

Could be ‘neath shade of my baby’s tree

Verse ———

I spent six years in New York City

like living in a penitentiary

Stole a motorbike rode it to the ocean

My broken heart came back to me

Home lord you’ve got to go out and take it

Sweet home should come easily

Could be on some highway that I’m riding

Could be left behind in those city streets

Bridge 8X

I came to reside in California

Spend my days rolling at the beach

All the pretty girls there they let their hair down

they’ve got nothing on my sweet beauty

Home feels just like my woman

Does it fell good?! Lord you’d better believe

She comes & joins me anywhere Im lying

She gives me shade beneath her tree

Take to the street to play music

Playing myself some guitar

a big old smile

right across my face

I’ve been out here for 3 hours

I think its time

to smoke a little jay

Inspiration she finds me

on crowded sidewalks

just about any place

When Im with her I hold her so closely

cause I tell you LOVE

is a terrible thing to waste

= Chorus 1

Ask me where Im goin’

Im a going way down to the dirty side of town

Ask me what I’ll be up to

I say Im a gonna spread a little love around
