Tied Down and Chained
BoDeans

Well, the fire city call to the hot

summer night in the distant sirens'

scream. Kids on the street don't think

about nothin', just livin' out some crazy

dream. On the front porch, Cherry

snaps her lipstick shut to the pull of the

radio steel. While folks inside drink

their worlds away. I guess sometimes

they must feel tied down and chained.

Well, folks around here don't talk about

life like it lasts forever. They talk about

life like it's salt instead of sugar. And the

elders sit around on the front porch. The

young ones, they mostly play. Every-

body else watchin' TV screens, watchin'

big time miles, miles away. And the days

go by just like hurricanes. And here


comes that very same old feelin' again.

Another face in the crowd, well baby, I'm

here for the takin'. Just like everybody

else, now, I feel I've been forsaken. Yeah,

Boy Johnny sings like a hurtin' soul,

made ten million dollars in one day,

spent every dime the very same night,

and the tax man takes him away. Yeah,

the judge walks in and he says, Boy

Johnny, you must be crazy or just lying.

Boy Johnny says, Judge you may be

right but I had a good time. An' look

at you.
