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 TV and it`s not smart like ti 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?
And I don`t know what you`ve been told,
The streets of where I`m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
Yeah the streets of where I`m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
I recall, when I was twenty-three -
Wondering how anyone could fall in love with me.
But now I`m old, hell I`m well past twent-five -
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,
And I don`t know what you`ve been told,
The streets of where I`m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
Yeah the streets of where I`m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
And I don`t know what you`ve been told,
The streets of where I`m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
Yeah the streets of where I`m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
Yeah the streets of where I`m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
