It was late one night in Southern Texas
My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band
He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
Oh but a phone call would have been nice
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn't change my spirit
This will remain the same
You were young and living like you wanted to
I understand because I packed up and left just like you did
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
Oh in so many ways you did
I don't want to have you worry no more
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
I want you to know I really needed you then
And I can use you now
I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs
I would sit along side of the fence
Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there
It's been nice to know you for the past few years
When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure
Ohhh it could have turned out so different
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn't change my spirit
This will remain forever
I don't want to have you worry no more
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
The lyrics CHEETUM STREET of BLIND MELON is also present in the album For my friends (2008)
Blind Melon è un gruppo rock alternativo statunitense formatosi nel 1989. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo con l'album di debutto omonimo del 1992, che includeva il singolo "No Rain", diventato un grande successo radiofonico grazie al suo video musicale iconico. La band è stata segnata dalla tragica scomparsa del frontman Shannon Hoon nel 1995, a soli 28 anni. Dopo una pausa di oltre dieci anni, Blind Melon si è riunito nel 2006 con Travis Warren come nuovo cantante, insieme ai membri originali Christopher Thorn (chitarra), Rogers Stevens (basso), Brad Smith (batteria) e Glen Graham (tastiere). Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo ricordiamo "No Rain", "Change", "Soup"

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
