Life's A Good Gig: Music
Song of Brazil
(John Cain)
Words & Music: John Cain
From the Cd "Life's A Good Gig"
Wish I was down in Brazil
With the girl from Ipanema
Up on the Corcovado hill
We’d batucada in Bahia
To the beat of the sweet song of Brazil
I’d get myself a good guitar
And learn to play the bossa nova
Doing the samba ‘neath the stars
Down in Copacapana, Ipanema, Leblon with you,
Baby all night long.
Someday I’m gonna get there,
Maybe I never will
Till then in my heart I’ll carry
This sweet song of Brazil.
I dried my bags and packed my tears
And started heading south down the road to Brazil.
Seems I’ve been on this road for years
Feels like I probably always will
But still I keep on trying.
Someday I’m gonna get there,
Maybe I never will
Till then in my heart I’ll carry
This sweet song of Brazil.
