Step Lightly (Junior's Arrival) - Clifford Brown

Met her on a Tuesday Went out on a Friday night Said she was lookin' for a love affair And I was lookin' for a getaway flight So we packed up a bag And hailed up a cab And I grabbed my guitar because It was the only thing that I had Well I learned to travel lightly Babe, livin' alone Some say that it's the hard way, mama But it's all that I've known And if I move fast enough, hopefully Oh the darkness can't catch up to me Hey, Hey, Hey So we headed off the mainland With the beating of a drum She turned and smiled and said, honey Where you from? I said I'm from all over But I was born in the wind She turned and smiled and said You're goin' home again Well I learned to travel lightly Livin' alone Some say that it's the hard way, mama But it's all that I've known And if I move fast enough, hopefully Oh the darkness can't catch up to me Hey, Hey, Hey Oh I hear that train A comin' around the bend Oh in the morning I'll be Runnin' away again Runnin' away, runnin' away again When she woke up in the morning With the rising sun In her heart she knew I'd be gone But I wrote her a letter With the words to this song She read it on the balcony While the wind was strong Well I learned to travel lightly Cause I was born alone Some say that it's the hard way, mama But it's all that I've known And if I move fast enough, hopefully Oh the darkness won't catch up to me Hey, Hey, Hey

Enter lightly Leave on tiptoe Reach your hands across But don't you grab; no You can ask, why not But never why And if you seek the truth Let not a word to pass, your lips Lest you know it, For a Lie Take it easy Don't let that grass grow See it clearly... yeah It's through a window Take a good step back But don't be shy You want to speak the truth Let not a word to pass, your lips Lest you know it, For a Lie For a Lie Say the word, Take me back to the start of it Down a road leading God knows where They drag me out; Fly me straight to the heart of it Hanging on, by my fear, the tears For what it's worth, Seems just as real Do me now as it's always been. Seems unlikely, and what would I know What would I know, mmmhmmm And if you seek the truth Let not a word to pass your lips Lest you know it, For a Lie

We take a drive just to sing along Every word of them Rolling Stones Stacey's mom had it goin' on Lived three doors down, I can see her now Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free If you Blink-182, then you'd miss me and her Every verse had a story Yeah, them pocket lighter nights lit up our days of glory Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Nothin' like freedom two windows down You singin' along, still hear it now Way too loud and sometimes off key But you sounded like an angel to me You'd make fun of how I threw my head And threw my fingers up in the air Thought I was Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Page You were at side seat, center stage Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town And that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars Back when we were rockstars We never ended up on MTV Or heard our voices on a CD But in your eyes and in my arms We were each other's rockstars Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leeanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Yeah, back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) You and me were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) oh yeah (Running all night, chasing down a dream) Yeah, we were runnin' all night, chasing down a dream Howlin' at the moon, baby, you and me
