Soak Up The Sun - Cheryl Crow

I think I sang this song to myself just about every day of the tour. I don't know all the lyrics, but mostly the tune. Its been sunny 33 of 34 days, simply remarkable.
I especially sang this song riding up Going to The Sun Road yesterday. I saw Sheryl Crow in concert last October. She is one of those rare artists that sounds better in person compared to the overdubbed music studio. My hearing may be really messed up now, but I still have nearly perfect pitch and her voice was strong, pure, and wonderful as I have ever heard..

Soak Up the Sun


(verse)
My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his rv
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching tv

I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

(chorus)
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

(verse)
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love

Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

(chorus)
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me

(verse)
Don't have no master suite
I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key

Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

(chorus)
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up

(chorus)
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up

(end)
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on
