Kokomo - Eric Bibb
I told some friends
You came from Gary
Though your home was Naptown
Last time I saw you was
In New York City
Leaving on a Greyhound
Homeward bound
I gave you what
I had in my pocket
Enough for candy bars and beer
Didn't I wave goodbye
With a low-down feeling
Still I held back the tears
I started thinking about
You up in Milwaukee
It was raining when
We reached Chicago
But the tears didn't stop
Rolling down my cheeks
Till we rolled into
Kokomo Kokomo
No one I know
Who ever met you
Could resist the way
You sang and played
None of us will ever forget you
We all just wish you'd stayed
To share the music you made
You told me you was
Gonna stop smoking cigarettes
And buy a good-looking car
You used to sing about
Your dreams coming true
We thought you'd go so far
I started thinking about
You up in Milwaukee
It was raining when
We reached Chicago
But the tears didn't start
Rolling down my cheeks
Till we rolled into
Kokomo Kokomo
First time you came overseas
You was only seventeen
Playing the blues
In Yank Rachell's band
You was happy to
Be heard and seen
Hungry and lean
Next time around
You was on your own
Making a name for yourself
Now all that's left is
The love in our hearts
And some reel-to-reel
Tapes on my shelf
I started thinking about
You up in Milwaukee
It was raining when
We reached Chicago
But the tears didn't start
Rolling down my cheeks
Till we rolled into Kokomo Kokomo
And know tears didn't start
Rolling down my cheeks
Till we rolled into
Kokomo Kokomo Kokomo Kokomo
