Streets of Where Im From

INTRO W/ LEAD

[VERSE] X3

I've been down

I've been down too far to care

I keep getting in my car but I'm not going anywhere

And I've been had

Well at least that's how it looks

And it's not funny like on t.v. and it's not smart like it is in books

And I wonder yeah I wonder how the world keeps spinnin' 'round

Where's a boy with bad intentions gonna settle down?

[PRECHORUS] X2

And I don't know what you've been told

[CHORUS] X2

The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold

VERSE W/ SOLO

[VERSE] X3

I recall when I was 23

Wondering how anyone could fall in love with me

But now I'm old and I'm well past 25

And I can't seem to fall in love no matter how I try

And I wonder where I'll wind up but I'm headed west I know

Wind my way through Texas and into New Mexico

[PRECHORUS] X2

And I don't know what you've been told

[CHORUS] X2

The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold

[PRECHORUS] X2

And I don't know what you've been told

[CHORUS] X3

The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold
