Out of Eden - The Robert Cray Band

Tie the trunk with a piece of string

Make sure, did we forget anything?

Turn the lights out

And close the door

Tell the mailman

We don’t live here no more

They said it was paradise

And that we’d live here forever

And they stabbed us in the back

With a poison dagger

Stood by the river

And watched us drown

Smiled, then they waved???

While we went down

But once was will never happen

Again

Now we travel out of Eden

(Break)

I know you would stand up

For what is right

And I know you would you stand up

Against what’s wrong

Our neighbors were blind

But we had each other

And we became strong

They said it was paradise

And that we’d live here forever

Then they stabbed us in the back

With a poison dagger

Wrongly accused

Rightly upset

When our friends turned their backs

We knew we’d never, never forget

What once was will never happen

No, no, again

Now we travel out of Eden

(Guitar solo)

Put your suitcase down

Lay on the bed

I’ll open up the window

Clear skies ahead

We can sit on the beach

Or swim in the ocean

We survived on a life of devotion

They said it was paradise

And that we’d live here forever

Then they stabbed us in the back

With a poison dagger

Tried and convicted

Without hearing our side

Now everyone’s sorry

But there’ll be no next time

What once was will never happen again

Now we travel out of Eden

Now we travel out of Eden

Now we travel out of Eden

Mmmmmm

Mmmmmm

Mmmmmm

Mmmmmm

Mmmmmm

(Guitar solos mixed in with humming)
