Gman Blues with David Keeney: Music

Miracle on Fourth Street

(Gman Blues)

2006-06-12

A very good friend of mine inspired this song; every time we talked the conversation abruptly halted whenever an attractive woman passed by. He was like deer in the headlights, while I kept time like a high school track coach.

This is a rough unmixed studio version--I admit now only just after listening to that perhaps I had a bit too much Caffeine when I came in to do the vocals. I swear that I don't remember doing this particular version. I woke up in the studio with my head down on the mixing board, a pencil imprint in my forehead, and this queued up on the console.

Let this be a lesson for you kids at home: "Don't drink and Jive".

Miricle on Fourth Street
1) Chi-town woman walkin' down the steet.
Red hot pepper movin' to the city beat.
Traffic slowin' gonna take a look; Chi-town woman got everybody shook.

Chorus: She's got the motion, she's got the movement...

2) I was just hangin' around; not much goin' down uptown.
She walked by with her hair flowin' back.
'bout to give me a heart attack!

Chorus.

Bridge:
Iron workers lookin' down
at that site gracin' the ground.
There's a young buck with his wife; I'll bet he's contemplating his life.
Old Layer about to defend--wishes he was 20 again.
Homeless man bumin' a buck; wishes she would change his luck.
Hare Krisha no shoes on his feet; knows his flowers don't smell as sweet.
There's a cop workin' the street--even he is missing a beat.

Chorus

3. Now she's gone I'll get back to my post--just hangin' around.
When I heard a four car crash a few blocks down.

Chorus
