Doobie Brothers - Carry Me Away lyrics

Patrick simmons / jeffrey baxter / michael mcdonald<br><br>There was a place in east st. louis<br>It was in nineteen fifty nine<br>When they played they filled the streets with music<br>That lonely blue note music<br>That takes your cares away, far away<br><br>They packed the place when the band was playin'<br>To get some joy from a smoke filled room<br>Through that door you could see the bodies swayin'<br>The blue note band was playin'<br>Some lonely blue note song, all night long<br><br>Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away<br>Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away<br>No place I'd rather stay<br><br>If you should ever make it to st. louis<br>On some hot and lonely night<br>If you listen you can hear that blue note music<br>They fill the streets with music<br>It carries you away, far away<br><br>Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away<br>Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away<br>No place I'd rather stay
