My Town - Patty Smyth
I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
The new graffiti says that life's a *****
And now I hear this bridge is falling down
Someone will steal it 'fore it hits the ground
Now I wanna go out walking in my own neighborhood
Where I was just a little girl and life was good
But the boys are on the corner gonna f**k with me
I'm gonna keep on walking they don't see
This is my town
I was born and raised
On these streets
This is my town oh yeah
Oh yeah my town
Too many people are on the street tonight
It's way too hot someone's looking for a fight
What a mess of faces in an endless sea
I'm getting tired of all this energy
And I guess
I could just pick it up and move outside of town
And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down
But then we couldn't hear them playing down at S O B s
Where my friend Lincoln can get us in for free
And this is my town
I grew up too fast
On these streets
Hey this is my town oh yeah
Hey yeah yeah
This is my town oh yeah
Tonight the rain is falling
Falling down
The lights outside keep changing
Without a sound oh yeah
Now let's just take a train down into Chinatown
Past the house of candles
You know they burned it down
Tomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day Parade
They'll be dancing in the streets
Come to carry me away
And this is my town
I was born and raised
On these streets
This is my town
I'm walking down
These mean streets
It's a big bad town
This is my town
Hey yeah yeah this is my
Oh my town
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
