Amos Lee - Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight Lyrics






Well I walked over the bridge
Into the city where I live,
And I saw my old landlord.
Well we both said hello,
There was no where else to go,
'cuz his rent I couldn't afford.

Well relationships change,
Oh I think it's kinda strange,
How money makes a man grow.
Some people they claim,
If you get enough fame,
You live over the rainbow.
Over the rainbow..

But the people on the street,
Out on buses or on feet,
We all got the same blood flow.
Oh, in society,
Every dollar got a deed,
We all need a place so we can go,
And feel over the rainbow.

But sometimes,
We forget what we got,
Who we are.
Oh who are are not.
I think we gotta chance,
To make it right.
Keep it loose,
Keep it tight.
Keep it tight.

I'm in love with a girl,
Who's in love with the world,
Though I can't help but follow.
Though I know some day,
She is bound to go away,
And stay over the rainbow.
Gotta learn how to let her go.
Over the rainbow.

Sometimes we forget who we got,
Who they are.
Oh, who they are not.
There is so much more in love,
Than black and white.
Keep it loose child,
Gotta keep it tight.
Keep it loose child,
Keep it tight.

Keep it tight,
Keep it tight,
Yaa..

    I was in love with a boy who’s in love with the world.

  53. R.... C....

    I don't understand why people always put "I do not own anything". Does that actually work?

    R.... C....

    It's a disclaimer 

    R.... C....

    @Nicholas Bosco I think people know

    R.... C....

    No, it doesn't mean anything. It may make the person who types it feel better, but nothing more.

  54. c.... l....

    I disagree, you just haven't listened to original SKYNYRD but hey that's ok. A lot of the deeper cuts you should give a try . Bad Boy blues, all I can do is write about it, don't ask me no questions, mr.banker, junkie, roll gypsy roll, ballad of Curtis lowe. Just to name a few. No person or band has ever been on original Skynyrds level. But I do think Amos is best out there today. Have a good one

  55. c.... ....

    Hey bubba you are another one of those that don't understand what you read. I said Amos was the best out there today right. And for Skynyrd being garbage you probably didn't even know there was a 70s Skynyrd with RVZ. But I guess putting em down makes you feel better, you didn't grow up in that era so you don't understand the music anyway. But have a nice one.

  56. c.... ....

    c.... ....

    need a hug, old timer? I love you buddy, but nothing they have produced is on this level. 

    c.... ....

    @Bubba Gump
     I agree with Chance, bubba. I think this song is good but in terms of general talent you cant compete with the 70s. There is an obvious compromise now-a-days in terms of talent vs aesthetic appeal.

    c.... ....

    @adam smittycoco overall I will agree, but I don't see that compromise with Amos.

  57. J.... S....

    I was so HAPPY that he did this one at the Bayou Music Center in Houston, TEXAS last night!!!! He killed it!!!!

  58. c.... ....

    This dude is the best one out there today, writes his own songs good subject matter.  Now im an old original Lynyrd Skynyrd fan of the 70s, they were and are the best still, now im talking original not the band out there today. But Amos is very good

    c.... ....

    lol Lynyrd Skynyrd is garbage, especially compared to Amos Lee. Sad you put them in the same arena.

    c.... ....

    @Bubba Gump Seriously? Simpleman, free bird aren't good songs? you need to educate yourself and not argue taste. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the bst bands of all time. not the best, and not near the top. Their Music has stood the test of time. 

  59. C.... T....

    I like it.

  60. D.... T....

    in the mood for this song

  61. C.... R....

    I would love to learn to play guitar just so I can sing this song.

    C.... R....

    do it ;)

    C.... R....

    @thibault591 I'd love to learn to sing just so I could play this song, 

    C.... R....

    Hahaha playing this song is not so hard, singing it is pretty easy. but both playing and singing... it's difficult 

    C.... R....

    Yffyfyvugvucuvuvu couver

  62. J.... C....

    Gorgeous. Reminds me of Roachford

  63. B.... P....

    On repeat on the way to work and now listening to it on my desktop at work. How can one have a bad morning, or day for that matter, after listening to Amos? Mission Impossible.

  64. t.... ....

    every song I hear just keeps getting better
