I've been walkin' these streets so long, Singin' the same old song, I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway, Where hustle's the name of the game
Well, a long time forgotten Dreams have just fell by the way, And the good life he promised, Ain't what she's living today, But she never complains of the bad times, Or bad things he's done
Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard everyday, Why I've seen her fingers bleed to complain there was no need, She's smiled in mommie's understanding way, In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear, But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new
I don't know why I keep on believing you need me, When you've proved so many times that it ain't true, And I can't find one good reason for staying, Maybe by leaving would be the best for you
You fill up my senses like a night in the forest, like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean. You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
My baby makes me proud... Lord, don't she make me proud... She never makes a scene... By hanging all over me in a crowd... 'Cause people like to talk... Lord, don't they love to talk... But when they turn out the lights... I know she'll be leaving with me
Way to go!
