Lyrics
[verse]
Jack works late behind the hardware store
Counting nickels, dreaming something more
Jane comes walking with her collar high
Never asking questions, never why
[chorus]
Sweet Louise, don't you know
Life's a riff we play as we go
Standing on the corner, feeling fine
Sweet Louise, you're a friend of mine
[verse]
Some folks talk about the way things were
Some folks say the old world's still the cure
But Louise just laughs and lights her smoke
Says the best days aren't a joke
[chorus]
Sweet Louise, don't you know
Life's a riff we play as we go
Standing on the corner, feeling fine
Sweet Louise, you're a friend of mine
[bridge]
Guitar's grinding, raw and true
Nothing fancy, nothing new
Just a heartbeat and a driving sound
Just a life still spinning round
[chorus]
Sweet Louise, don't you know
Life's a riff we play as we go
Standing on the corner, feeling fine
Sweet Louise, you're a friend of mine
