latest rcdg of a local fav 6/26, between the rhythmic piano & amped guitar hook, the use of swing simultaneously w/ straight time, it bids a nod to R & R origins, & current!

lyrics

6) Oh Philadelphia ©2010 4:20

Why's this old piano make me sad
when all I wanna feel is glad
But every note just makes me weep
Out on the corner there's a man
and he's missing his band
His horn just echoes down the street

(chorus) Oh Philadelphia, why can't we come together
You've been my rock since my youth
Oh Philadelphia, we've come through stormy weather
Only to find all your guns cocked, ready to shoot

Fear, if it's just illusion
what's the chaos and confusion
With our embrace all shadows gone
You know I've ridden every rail
walked down every dead end trail
Come face to face with all alone

(chorus)
Mistakes, you know I've made my share
but there's no punishment there
Always thought that Kharma collects it's due
No, it's a myth all wrong
it's how we drag us along
Keeping us from happiness and true, oh baby...

Oh Philadelphia, why can't we come together
You've been my rock since my youth
Oh Philadelphia, starting now and forever
This city of Love holds the truth
