My Town — текст песни (Patty Smyth)

I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
The new graffiti says that life`s a bitch
And now I hear this bridge is falling down
Someone will steal it before it hits the ground
Now I wanna go out walking in my old neighborhood
Where I was just a little girl and life was good
But the boys are on the corner, gonna fuck 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, 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
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

This is my town
I grew up too fast on these streets
Hey this is my town
Oh yeah, my town

Tonight the rain is falling, falling down
The lights outside keep changing, without a sound

Now lets 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

Cause 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
Hey yeah, this is my town
