Lyrics


In The Delta

In The Delta
outake from the Black Rose sessions
with Huey Lewis

woo woo woo woooo
woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
(repeat)

I been workin' down in the delta
Lord it don't feel so good
When you're working out in the delta
All you leave is blood and sweat and blood
(in the delta)

woo woo woo woooo
woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

(harmonica solo - Huey Lewis)

I've been working on that chain gang
Breakin' rocks for the Man
On that chain gang you get no pity
That Man don't give a damn yaaa ya
(in the delta)

woo woo woo woooo
woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
(repeat)

Who says there has to be a moral
Ya see my morale has taken a fall
Who says I'm resting on my laurels
Who says I've got anything in common with you at all
You see as silly as it seems
So tired of living out somebody else's dream
So tired of living out somebody else's dream
The more time I waste the more time I must redeem
Get some time now to look at somebody else's dream
Just ask Prince Lawrence of the Bahamas
So tired of living out somebody else's dream
Saw the flashy scene (fade out)
