LYRICS AND RIFF PLACEMENT
[INTRO W/ LEAD]
[VERSE] X3
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 t.v. 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?
[PRECHORUS] X2
And I don't know what you've been told
[CHORUS] X2
The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold
[VERSE W/ SOLO]
[VERSE] X3
I recall when I was 23
Wondering how anyone could fall in love with me
But now I'm old and I'm well past 25
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
[PRECHORUS] X2
And I don't know what you've been told
[CHORUS] X2
The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold
[PRECHORUS] X2
And I don't know what you've been told
[CHORUS] X3
The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold
