 Look Miles Davis,  I've been swayed by the cool.
 There's just something about the summertime.
 There's just something about the moon.
 So I'll lay a kiss on this storm,  toss it  upside your window,  by the roof.
 Before you change your  mind,  Miles, bring in the cool.

 Now honey, put on your red  dress.
 And you diamond soul shoes.
 Climb on down from that  window.
 Climb on out of your room.
 Cause I've never had a good  thing and I've  always had the blues.
 I always heard that you always  kind of  wandered, Miles, strike up the Cool.
 Don't wait too long  to come home.
 My have the years  of our youth passed on.
 Don't wait too long  to come home.
 I'll leave  the front light on.
 The night is our own, Don't  wait too  long.
 Poor mister pitiful,  I can't turn you loose.
 You move like a dream  I had, woke up sweating in my  room.
 Your Mama's got plans,  your daddy's aim is true.
 She never understood  that it ain't no good.
 Papa never heard the  cool.
 So now I got out my map  and found  me a storm.
 With a flick of the wrist  and the turn of the key.
 You'll just fall in my arms.
 Don't wait too long  to come home.
 My have the years  of our youth passed on.
 Don't wait too long  to come home.
 I'll leave  the front light on.
 The night is our own, Don't  wait too  long.
 So why don't you sing  to me on this long drive home?
 Let the sound  of your voice sway sweet and  slow.
 As we go down,  down, down.
 From our youth  to the  ground.
  down,  down, down.
 From our youth  to the  ground.
 We  might always be blue.
 Jackson!

Poor mister pi[A]tiful, I can't turn you lo[F#m]ose.
You move like a d[A]ream I had, woke up sweating in my[E] room.
Your Mama's got p[A]lans, your daddy's aim is tr[F#m]ue.

So why don't you sin[B]g to me on this long drive [Abm]home?
Let the soun[B]d of your voice sway sweet and[Abm] slow.
As we go [E]down, down, [B]down.

From our [F#]youth to the[Abm] ground.
We[B] might always be bl[F#]ue.
