Lyrics:
with people
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
You're no tramp, but you're no lady
Talkin' that street talk
You're the heart and soul of New York City
I jump up at down, shake out the sun
Laugh like a loon; everything is fun
It's crazy, but I'm in love
I act like a fool; what do I care?
I'll
the walls came tumbling down
Brick by brick at times they're of a different kind
Brick by brick they're built around the heart and mind
Sometimes lasting
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home, we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea
But all the towns
you're still around
You'd never let me down, in my city
You get my feet back on the ground
You'd never let me down, in my city
No regrets, well just
[Chorus]
(Then we'll go) sweepin' through the city,
(Where my) captain has gone before
(And we're gonna) sit down by the banks of the river
I
Barely knows her name, struck by fame
She just got a Benz, she rides with her friends
Gotta keep her beeper in her purse to make ends
Rollin' down
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash
Left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston
With my guitar under my coat
I hitchhiked all
you watchin' the world roll by
In the sunshine, baby, while we
Wind on, wind on down the road
To anywhere, to anywhere you wanna go
You got those
You left me for the bright lights of the town
A country boy set out to see the world
Remember when those city lights shine down
That big old moon
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash
Left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston
With my guitar under my coat
I hitchhiked all
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash
I left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston
With my guitar under my coat
I hitchhiked
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
And I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
And it's not, not made by
Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear
What the little fish are sayin'
Oh, oh, the people turned away
Oh,
Been most everywhere by now
Cities grand and small
Some are near and dear to me
Some i can’t recall london is a fun town
Paris has its charms
But
here before
I've kissed your lips so long ago
Died in your arms deep down u know
I yearn again for one more glance
To meet by chance
one last romance
(Burning down love)
(Burning down love)
I want to run, I want to hide
I want to break down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out,
a Harley in heat
When I strut down the street, I could feel its heart beat
The sisters fell back and said, "Don't that man look pretty"
The cripple
So many windows
So many walls
Double lock-doors
Down carpeted halls
Somebody's crying
Somebody calls
Do you know who's
Livin' next door?
Here
And enslaved the innocent people of Gamehendge
He cut down the trees and built a city
Which he called Prussia
And in the center of the city
He built a castle
I am a pilgrim, and a stranger, traveling through this wearisome land.
But I've got a home, in that yonder city, good Lord!
And it's not, good
don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by
You left me for the bright lights of the town
A country boy set out to see the world
Remember when those city lights shine down
That big old moon
the rush) makes you want to say your prayers
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
Makes you want to say you're down
