Description: I wrote for this Real Deal R&B band. I explained how it could be made shorter by skipping the solos but they passed because of the length. Too bad, they had a great sax man and a hot horn section.

lyrics

LEFT MY FAMILY, MY HOMETOWN FRIENDS, WENT WHERE THE ROAD OUT ENDS
TO CHANGE THE WORLD AND BE SOMEONE, AIN'T QUITE THERE YET BUT THE RIDES BEEN FUN
YOU KNOW I'M ALLRIGHT, I'M OK, AIN'T GONNA LET NOTHIN' COME SPOIL MY DAY
AIN'T GOT MUCH OF NOTHIN' TO SPARE, STILL, SLOWLY BUT SURELY I AM GETTIN' THERE
I MADE MYSELF A LIFE OUT IN THE EAST, GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES, FAMINE, FEAST
HAD ME SOME FRIENDS BUT WE HAD TO PART, I STILL HOLD ’EM HERE IN MY HEART
CHORUS
DON'T NEED NO MOSES TO LEAD ME OUT THE WILDERNESS
NO SIGMUND FRUED MY ISSUES TO ADDRESS
I GOT ME A WOMAN WHO GETS MY SOUL, I STAND BEFORE YOU HEALED, HAPPY, AND WHOLE
CHORUS
WE'RE ALL ALLRIGHT,WE'RE ALL OK AIN'T GONNA LET NOTHIN' COME SPOIL OUR DAY
AIN'T GOT MUCH OF NOTHIN' TO SHARE, STILL SLOWLY BUT SURELY WE'LL BEGETTIN' THERE
