Streets of Where I'm From - Old 97's

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 it 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
