The Sweet Love That You Give Sure Goes A Long, Long Way Lyrics - Alive On Arrival/jack Rabbit Slim (special Anniversary Edition) - Steve Forbert

Well, the road seems so long before me 

I'm feeling confused and hungry 

Dark clouds are blocking moonlight 

Time is sleepin' 

Road signs are all against me 

Daybreak sorta takes forever 

Cars pass and put me down 

I'm tired and freezing 

I'll find you and I'll hold you in my memory 

And once again I'm living in those harmonies 

The sweet love that you give sure goes a long long way 

And I, oh I, won't forget it, oh no 

Well, I'm trying to be an honest injun 

Slow walking down a noisy sidewalk 

Cruel words from rowdy cowboys here in boomtown 

It seems everybody's shooting six-guns 

I'm sick of trying to please 'em all 

I've heard tell that it can't be done and I don't deny it 

I'll find you and I'll hold you in my memory 

And once again I'm living in those harmonies 

The sweet love that you give sure goes a long, long way 

And I, oh I, won't forget it, oh no 

Train coming rolling down the track now 

Click clack and I can't go back now 

Hot kettle on your mama's stove 

And I've heard it whistle 

I don't wanna see no fortune teller 

I'd rather do without prediction 

I'll see it when it's all around me, hey, what's the hurry? 

I'll find you and I'll hold you in my memory 

And once again I'm living in those harmonies 

The sweet love that you give sure goes a long, long way 

And I, oh I, won't forget it, no I won't
