lyrics

In the age of Cazzie Russell
She walked down to the River Rouge.
She dropped her bag in the water thinkin’
It was a a hard kiss to get to
A hard kiss to get to
It was a hard kiss to get to
But it was a good hard kiss.

From time to timeshe had to recall
The kitchen table under the light.
Where her mother cried and cried.
Wailing all night.
Wailing all night long
Wailing all night
The night Sam Cooke died.

They woke up.... on that Michigan bed.
On that motel bed covered in blood
They stole out the back door
And rode away laughin
AAnd rode away laughin
And rode away
Driving north to paradise
