Topic: Somewhere North of East Southwest Street
I got this idea when I went to a concert back in March and I saw a sign for East Southwest Street while I was stopped at a light. I was thinking that I would not want to get lost around here so here's the song:
Somewhere North of East Southwest Street By Jeff Gilpin
April 8, 2007
Verse 1
This [F]world can [C]get you [Am]turned a[E]round
It’s [F]easy to [Bb]forget where the [C]heck you are
You [F]search until a fa[C]miliar [Am]street sign‘s [E]found
Then [F]hopefully you [Bb]goal won’t [C]be too [F]far
Verse 2
[F]It doesn’t [C]matter when you’re [Am]out on your [E]own
And you’re [F]just trying to [Bb]make your way through [C]life
Your [F]destination [C]could be just a [Am]throw of a [E]stone
If [F]only you knew which [Bb]way to [C]end your [F]strife
Chorus1
I’m [Bb]somewhere [F]north of [C]East Southwest [Dm]Street
I [Bb]don’t know how much [F]further I have to [C]go[C7]
I [Bb]see quite a few [F]people I’m not [C]sure I want to [Dm]meet
And I do [Bb]not want to be [C]late for the [F]show
Verse 3
[F]Funny how [C]life will throw [Am]stuff in your [E]path
[F]When you have some[Bb]where you have to [C]be
You’ve [F]got to [C]keep your cool and [Am]maybe even [E]laugh
[F]It’ll be funny [Bb]later even [C]if now you don’t [F]see
Verse 4
You [F]want to pull [C]over and [Am]check out the [E]map
[F]Bad idea as you [Bb]scope out the neighbor[C]hood
[F]You ponder as [C]you start heading [Am]up the wrong [E]ramp
Thinking, [F]lordy no way that [Bb]this can [C]come to [F]good
Chorus 2
I’m [Bb]somewhere [F]south of [C]East Southwest [Dm]Street
I [Bb]don’t know how much [F]further I have to [C]go[C7]
I [Bb]see quite a few [F]people I’m not [C]sure I want to [Dm]meet
And I do [Bb]not want to be [C]late for the [F]show
Break
[C]Finally there’s a [Bb]familiar [F]sign
So you [C]turn around and make the [Bb]show on [F]time
Your [C]troubles are all [Bb]put far be[F]hind
And your [C]worries slip away as the [C7]band starts to play
music only
[Bb] [F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [F] [C] [C7] [Bb] [F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [C] [F]
Verse 5
So the [F]shows over and [C]you start [Am]heading [E]home
With the [F]music still [Bb]ringing in your [C]ears
Re[F]membering your night of [C]music your [Am]mind starts to [E]roam
But [F]then you look a[Bb]round as [C]you’re shifting [F]gears
Verse 6
"[F]Was this the [C]street I came in on [Am]earlier to[E]night?"
You’re [F]thinking as you [Bb]cruise on down the [C]road
[F]Looking around you [C]realize you [Am]didn’t get it [E]right
As you [F]get into your "[Bb]where the hell [C]am I" [F]mode
Chorus 3
I’m [Bb]somewhere [F]east of [C]South Northwest [Dm]Street
I [Bb]don’t know how much [F]further I can [C]drive[C7]
I [Bb]see quite a few [F]people I’m not [C]sure I want to [Dm]meet
And I do [Bb]know I want to [C]make it home a[F]live
[Dm]Make it [C]home a[F]live [Bb] [F]
