Spirit Songtext

von Amos Lee

Walking down Roy street
Streets sing a symphony
Ain't been the hardest way
Ain't had the greatest day
Walking past memory
The pain that she gave me
Don't you know I'm trying to be a bigger man?

I just want to feel the spirit
Washing over me

Me and my damn Levo
Seen some people come and go
Seen a couple storm clouds pass
Seen a couple spells been cast
People tripping down cobble stone
Marching bands and trombones
Everybody out here waiting on the second line
And I'm just fine

I just want to feel the spirit
Washing over me

Storm clouds up ahead
Singing songs of praise, praise the day
I got heart that was born to be
Broken down, oh and free

Johnny came in on a train
With not a dollar to his name
Just an old guitar case
And the bruises on his petty face
Walking down a railroad track
He ain't never coming back
Said mama ‘I don't know if I'm ever coming home again'

Ahh til then
I just want to feel the spirit
Washing over me
