about

Written after hearing the stories of my Father from his days in the Marine Corps and reading FEET FIRST by Ben Finney, Jr.

lyrics

These faded pictures of those colorless streets
Only make me want to go down
Why I feel the need is a mystery to me
But I know I need to walk upon that ground
I need to walk upon that ground

I have never known poverty
I have always lived in luxury
I do not know what real freedom is
Because I have always been free
I have always been free

Havana Havana
I hear you are calling out to me
Havana I hear you calling out to me

My father walked those streets in 1954
As a young man in the Marine Corps
The locals there all called him “The Hurricane”
He blew through town like a driving rain
He blew through Havana like a driving rain

He told me stories that only filled my head
and showed me pictures that only led
me to this feeling that I need to chase
All of the ghosts of that ancient place

Havana Havana
I hear you are calling out to me
Havana I hear you calling out to me

So take me to your impenetrable town
And let me have my look around
To bring back something real
And something true
Ohh Havana just a little piece of you
Ohh Havana maybe just a piece of you
