Al, he sells records down on old st. charleys street
Hes cleaning up fat tuesdays mess he keeps the sidewalks neat
And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife
And if it wasnt for the music he couldnt get on with his life
And he knows what I know
Its not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know were alive
play Riff
Well now be bes singing gospel
And down on bourbon she sings the blues
She plays on all my heart strings curls my toes up in my shoes
And she knows what Im after
Chase my dreams with all my might
She says you shouldnt be so anxious and deep down I know shes right
And he knows what I know
Its not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know were alive
Play Riff
1/2 1/4 1/4
were alive were alive were alive
1/2 1/2
we're alive
Well get on board the rocket
Step right into the front car
You know lifes a roller coaster
It aint got no safety bar
Raise your voices up with laughter
Bring it in with one big sigh
Consecrated in the wonder .... were alive
Play Riff
Norman he plays music but only in my dreams
Shows me all the beauty that soulful music brings
But sometimes hes a spectre and I wake up clenched with fear
But lesson good or bad he always keeps me clear
And you know what I know
Its not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know were alive
E5 - D5 - C5 - C5 x 6
