They say this is a big rich town But I live in the poorest part I know I'm on a dead end street In a city without a heart I learned to sing before I was six The only way I could get along When you're raise on a dead end street Your mind's gotta be mighty strong Many folks I know getting in trouble (Many folks I know getting in trouble) That's how it's always been When the odds all are against you (When the odds all are against you) How can you win? (I'm tired of this dead end street) I'm so tired (I'm tired of this dead end street) Of this dead end street (I'm tired of this dead end street) So tired Gonna push way out of here Even though, I can't say when I gonna get out of this dead end street And I ain't come back again (I'm tired of this dead end street) Oh, I'm so tired (I'm tired of this dead end street) Of this dead end street (I'm tired of this dead end street) I'm so tired (I'm tired of this dead end street) Oh
