Killer song. I love her voice. And the album this is off of is incredible! Oh wow! I just read someone's comment: 120 Minutes. Holy shit, haven't thought of that in years. Awesome!
She's cruising the streets, making damn sure she don't run into that old man.
Well, around him she hardly even speaks, she slips into an old retreat.
I saw her strutin' in a dress, looking lucky last week, keeping an eye out for shadys, holding something sweet.
Chorus
Sweet relief, find it in a bathtub, or a backrub, or the clothes they wear, or just in the air, it's in the food you eat, yeah it's something so sweet, it's sweet relief.
Now, Opelousas is a dim-lit town by night and folks down there they sure know how to live right. They dance by the moon, party for a friend, they've got that look in their eyes like they're holdin' out for something sweet. And finding a shoe in a junkyard heap he pulls it out and says, "Ah, look at this!"
Chorus
Sweet relief, it's in a handshake, or a lucky break, or a bottle of wine, or just losing some time, it's in the road you meet, yeah it's something so sweet, sweet relief.
I clicked on this by mistake! So glad i did click on it :)
