about

Fun little upbeat tune. which I wrote after receiving and editing lyrics from a poet in San Diego.

lyrics

Oh Babe
by John Beccia
(lyric with D. Foxworthy)


If I was on the road, I'd be runnin' right on home to you
Runnin' straight that way 'cause it's the easiest thing to do
Keep your fire goin' just to warm my bones
Love to hear you speakin' but there ain't no phones around
Oh babe, I'm on the ground


If I was like a bird, I would fly right thru the sky to you
High above the crowds, within the clouds within the sky of blue
Heading for your door because it's turning grey
Hide me from the rain until it goes away, oh babe
It's on the ground I lay

If I could swim the ocean like the fish down in the water do
I'd ride upon the wave that was takin' my love to you
Gonna make my entrance with a mighty crash
Splash into your arms, and I would never dash away
The ground's so cold, oh babe
The ground's so cold, oh babe
