These streets know my name
They’re always glad I came
& they’d never lead me astray
We’re both weathered & worn
Both cracked & torn
Both just trying to find our way
These streets they know me
These streets they hold me
Whenever I need a break
I can always count on my city
At the end of the day
Together we laugh
Together we cry
Together we watch the days go by
Together we win
Together we lose
Together we smile & sing the blues
These streets are my veins
My compass, my flame
My secrets, my dreams
My joy & my pain
Wherever I go
Whatever I may
I’ll carry these streets
‘Til my dyin’ day
