I woke up and I said to my love good morning
And I looked at the phone and there was a message about the Johnny Tapia movie
Then I went to my bank and I transferred money to cover my taxes
And I'm still thinking about the documentary we watched last night 'The Road To Las Vegas'
And the replay of the Floyd 'Money' Mayweather/Oscar De La Hoya fight
But it was a line from 'The Road To Las Vegas' that played over and over in my head all night
“What does rekindle mean?”
“What does rekindle mean?”
I met a 19-year-old girl in Perth who said she's pa**ionate about social injustices and feminism
She asked me what I cared about and I said my family, and my friends, and that my dentist just died of an
aneurism
And that I loved playing music and making people laugh and making sure that my band gets paid
And on the very bright side of things I love Gulf Coast oysters and crawfish and springtime in New Orleans
Everyday I walk and I see men and women walking together in harmony
Everyday I walk and I see people walking together in harmony
At the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight I saw men and women enjoying their night together in harmony
And on my flight home I saw men and women sitting together in harmony
But in the film 'The Road To Las Vegas' there was a broken harmony
And in Johnny Tapia's 'Mi Vida Loca' life there was a broken harmony
“What does rekindle mean?”
“What does rekindle mean?”
“What does rekindle mean?”
“What does rekindle mean?”
“What does rekindle mean?”
Today someone pestered me about wanting a rare copy of vinyl
If you're gonna reach out please be original and ask me about something that makes me smile
That's fantastic that you're pa**ionate about cardboard and listening to music on multicolored plastic
You're a collector of rare vinyl, a total fanatic, that's completely absolutely hip and motherf**ing fantastic
But I'm more concerned about
“What does rekindle mean?”
“What does rekindle mean?”
That line in my head it just keeps echoing and ringing
“What does rekindle mean?”
“What does rekindle mean?”
Remember the co*kiness and the brashness and the elusiveness of Prince Naseem
His cat-like instincts and that thunderous K.O. punch struck like a lightning beam
His walk-outs couldn't be touched like with Wayne McCullough on Halloween
Then Marco Antonio Barrerra tore him to pieces and a strange occurrence had intervened
And 'The Prince' derailed like nothing anyone had ever expected to see
I swear to god he could have been the next lightweight southpaw Yemeni version of Muhammad Ali
But ask The Prince now
“what does rekindle mean?”
“what does rekindle mean?”
And I'm flying to New Orleans
When I wake up in the morning
Gonna walk to the bank called the Mississippi River
And look over the bridge that crosses over to the city of Algiers
And I'm going to eat a candy apple with my girl
My happy memories there over the years can bring me to tears
And when I get down to the city of New Orleans
I know there's gonna be lightning storming
And water gushing down through the streets
Then the sun's gonna come out and shine down on the lime trees
And we're gonna walk down Pirate's Alley to Royal Street
And I know we're gonna see men and women playing fiddles and guitars together in harmony
And we're gonna see men and women enjoying music together in harmony
