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!

[burlyesque]

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.

[burlyesque]

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.
