7th Street

Between Neches and Red River down at the mission

Is where I lay my head

A thousand lost souls all cussing and scratching, they’re fighting

for one last bed

It’s cold outside, I’m trying to keep my weight up

Been living on soup and bread

I got scars on my arm where a needle took everything

And left me in the street for dead

Now I’m walking in the moonlight, trying to get my head right

Lost about most things

Searching for the truth, and longing for the innocence

Trying to get myself straight

I’m falling so far well I’m flying real fast

Girl you ought to see my wings

Well life ain’t always bad as it looks

I’m living down on 7th street

Sleeping on the sidewalk never really bothered me

Concrete ain’t that bad

There’s a spot downtown where I go pick my mail up

Right next to box #10

It’s raining outside, I can’t keep my weight up

Hey brother could you spare some bread

I got scars on my heart where a woman took everything

Left me in the streets for dead

Now I’m walking in the moonlight, trying to get my head right

Lost about most things

Searching for the truth, longing for the innocence

Trying to get myself straight

I’m falling so far well I’m flying real fast

Girl you ought to see my wings

Life ain’t always bad as it looks

I’m living down on 7th street

Well I’m walking in the moonlight, trying to get my head right

Lost about most things

Searching for the truth, longing for the innocence

Trying to get myself straight

I’m falling so far well I’m flying real fast

Girl you ought to see my wings

Life ain’t always bad as it looks

I’m living down on 7th street

 

Down on 7th street
