"Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight," Amos Lee

[That Skipping Rope.]

Does anyone else on here like Amos? He's got this really great acoustic/indie vibe. He's done a few shows in record shops in Louisville, but I've never gotten a chance to go.

Anyway, this is my favorite song of his. It's off his self-titled debut.



"Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight"

Well I walked over the bridge
Into the city where I live,
And I saw my old landlord.
Well we both said hello,
There was no where else to go,
'cuz his rent I couldnt afford.

Well relatioships change,
Oh I think it's kinda strange,
How money makes a man grow.
Some people they claim,
If you get enough fame,
You live over the rainbow.
Over the rainbow..

But the people on the street,
Out on buses or on feet,
We all got the same blood flow.
Oh, in society,
Every dollar got a deed,
We all need a place so we can go,
Over the rainbow.
And feel over the rainbow.

But sometimes,
We forget what we got,
Who we are.
Oh who are are now.
I think we gotta chance,
To make it right.
Keep it loose,
Keep it tight.
Keep it tight.

I'm in love with a girl,
Who's in love with the world,
Though I can't help but follow.
Though I know some day,
She is bound to go away,
And stay over the rainbow.
Gotta learn how to let her go.
Over the rainbow.

Sometimes we forget who we got,
Who they are.
Oh, who they are now.
There is so much more in love,
Than black and white.
Keep it loose child,
Gotta keep it tight.
Keep it loose child,
Keep it tight.

Keep it tight,
Keep it tight,
Yaa..
