Lyrics

Chili Pepper Lights
(Featuring John Sebastian on harmonica)

Kids are fed and fighting sleep
Music’s good and talk is cheap
Starts pop out their shiny skins
And shake and shed their stellar sins

I’m in for a chili pepper night with you
I’m down for funky night in town for two
Don’t care If town’s closed for the night
We’ll dream up a jukebox playing slick
Hot licks – quick fix of fun for no money
No need to find no money when you’re in your head
Just get in my head like a good friend should
I’ll get myself into your head too

Got a jug and fat to chew
A night ahead just to spend with you
Songs to sing and tears to spill
Bet the sun’s gonna rise ‘fore we’ve had our fill

I’m in for a chili pepper night with you
I’m down for a funky night in town for two
Don’t care if town’s closed for the night
We’ll dream up a jukebox playing slick
Hot licks –quick fix of fun for no money
No need to find no money when you’re in your head
Just get in my head like a good friend should
I’ll get myself into your head too

Lucky me and lucky you
Got simple gifts ain't that the truth
Got our kids, got our health
We’ve got each other and we've got ourselves

I’m in for a chili pepper night with you
I’m down for a funky night in town for two
Don’t care if town’s closed tight for the night
We’ll dream up a juke box playing slick hot
licks – quick fix of fun for no money
No need to find no money when you’re in your head
Just get in my head like a good friend should
I’ll get myself into your head too
In Coldwater
Yes, I do
Love my Coldwater chili pepper nights with you
Coldwater
Yes, I do
Love my Coldwater chili pepper nights with you
Coldwater, yes, I do
I love my Coldwater chili pepper, chili pepper nights with you.
