Leaving Cleveland
(drew Roberts)

(This is an attempt at an extra beginning for this song)

I was a salt water boy
With rock n roll in my veins
So I left my island home
Went to Cleveland on the plane

Bought an old Strat guitar
Joined a local college band
Started playing all the clubs
Thought I was a fast slow hand

Soon I thought I had it made
That I was a rising star
But I never had it made
And I didn't get very far

----------

I'm leaving Cleveland
And the heart of Rock and Roll
Yes I'm heading down
To see my Latin Love

She lives in the Gables
And when I reach
I hope I'm able
To show my heart
And Maybe bare my soul

Cause one more night in this town
Will freeze me to the core
So I've hit the road
I'm heading south
And I won't come back no more

Yes I'm leaving Cleveland
And the heart of Rock and Roll
Yes I'm heading down
To see my Latin Love

We'll sail to the islands
Maybe spend a night in 'Briland
Then Exuma bound
We'll restify our souls

Cause one more night in this town
Will freeze me to the core
So I've hit the road
I'm heading south
And I won't come back no more

You know music is special
But it can't compete with love
At least not when your woman
Has been sent down from above

----------

I need to at least replace this last verse - it does not work right.
