Lyric Backstreet Crawler

(R. Hall, E. King, G. Rossington)

I snuck around the corner he had this guy down
I through the first punch that s when he hit the ground
To survive in the street you gotta win the first round
Cause if you want eat you gotta be the baddest one around
I m a backstreet crawler

Daddy paid for college I earned a degree
Got a job up on Wall Street
Where I learned to make the little man bleed
That s when I got stomped like a cattle stampede
Had a nervous breakdown all my friends and family left me

(chorus)
Yeah I m a backstreet crawler
When you see them on the concrete it s their spirit that s harder
Yeah I m a backstreet crawler
Where your ego meets defeat and your pride can t get no smaller
Yeah I m a backstreet crawler
Yeah I m a backstreet crawler

I guess you might say it sure is a shame
I used to have everything oh how my life has changed
Yeah I m broken and torn I ve never been free
Lost everything that meant a thing to me

(repeat chorus)
