Walk up down rundown avenues and back through swollen city veins Now sobered up enough to understand that nothing stays the same Over populated crowds you'd think I'd find a place that I'd Attach myself upon somewhere I felt alive until I die These hometown blues follow me home again The closer I go I feel further away Walk back down run down avenues and attitudes are everywhere Pass a drunken arguementthey roll around and people stare Finally hit the underground and no surpriseI turn to find Two men for twenty pound of mine if I'm alive they'll have me die (repeat chorus)
