Letra de Kokomo

I tol´ some friends you came from gary
´tho your home was naptown
Last time i saw you was in new york city
Leavin´ on a greyhound - homeward bound

I gave you what i had in my pocket
Enough for candy bars an´ beer
Didn´t i wave goodbye with a low-down feelin´
Still, i held back the tears

I started thinkin´ ´bout you up in milwaukee
It was rainin´ when we reached chicago
But the tears didn´t start rollin´ down my cheeks
´til we rolled into kokomo - kokomo

No one i know who ever met you
Could resist the way you sang an´ played
None of us will ever forget you
We all just wish you´d´ve stayed
To share the music you made

Ya tol´ me you was gonna stop smokin´ cigarettes
An´ buy a good-lookin´ car
Ya used to sing about your dreams comin´ true
We thought you´d go so far

I started thinkin´ ´bout you up in milwaukee
It was rainin´ when we reached chicago
But the tears didn´t start rollin´ down my cheeks
´til we rolled into kokomo - kokomo

First time you came overseas
You was only seventeen
Playin´ the blues in yank rachell´s band
You was happy to be heard and seen -
Hungry and lean

Next time around you was on your own
Makin´ a name for yourself
Now all that´s left is the love in our hearts
An´ some reel-to-reel tapes on my shelf

I started thinkin´ ´bout you up in milwaukee
It was rainin´ when we reached chicago
But the tears didn´t start rollin´ down my cheeks
´til we rolled into kokomo - kokomo
