The Streets

Well I tried so hard
But still I fall
Fall back down the grate below
And it's been a while
Since I have prayed
But tonight I'm on my knees

I'm asking why, oh why, oh why?
Why, oh why, oh me?

I guess the streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be
I said the streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be

So keep pouring me drinks
Till I forget my name
I love my life but it gets hard
As I'm sure that it does for us all
From time to time
So keep living it through
I'll keep living it too

I hang my head, I hang it low
And I pray that it gets a little better
Down the line
Why, oh why, oh why?
Why, oh why, oh me?

Oh, the streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be
I said the streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be

Oh sweet mother of two
You work hard, so hard
To keep your heads above the water
And although I stand on the shore
With a line I can't seem to untangle it
From the selfish dreams of my own
I wish I had just a little more money
To help you out through the times
When it's hard, so hard, so hard

The streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be
I said the streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be

The streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be
I said the streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be
The streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be

The streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
Until then, the streets is where I'll be
The streets is where I's born
And the streets is where I'll die
