John Mellencamp - Chestnut Street слова песни
Written by John MellencampWell I`ve lived and breathed and been disbelievedin these small town streets too longI`ve been up with the winners and down with the sinnersAnd hung on this corner `til dawnAnd my hands they have been tiedTo a life I`ve been deniedI`m just a small town boy bein` used like a toyAnd workin` from nine to fiveBy the end of the day, all the kids would go playAnd I`d come staggering homeWith a dream in my hand and a master planThat wouln`t leave my mind aloneI compromised all my schemesAnd flucturated all my dreamsI`m just a small town boy bein` used like a toyAnd nothing is like it really seems(bridge)But you must believe that when I walk down the tracksThe young girls fall back and sayThere goes that sleek young silhouetteHe don`t drive no CorvetteBut he stings just like a Sting RayAnd that`s my only redemption in this house of detentionThat keeps me from simply blowin` it all away`Cause when I walk down the street in the hot summer heatI say, God don`t take this awayI keep hopin` and wishin` that these romantic positionsGonna help me hide my painAnd all the hurt that I`ve felt underneath my leather studded beltOf not finding fortune and fameBut some day I`ll blow `em away with the things that I may sing andmight sayI`m just a small town boy bein` used like a toyAnd waitin` for my pay dirt dayI`m just a small town boy bein` used like a toyAnd waitin` for my pay day
