Lyric Streets Of Where I m From

I ve been down, I ve been down too far to care -
I keep getting in my car but I m not going anywhere.
And I ve been had, well at least that s how it looks -
And it s not funny like on TV and it s not smart like ti is in books.

And I wonder yeah I wonder how the world keeps spinnin round.
Where s a boy with bad intentions gonna settle down?
And I don t know what you ve been told,
The streets of where I m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
Yeah the streets of where I m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.

I recall, when I was twenty-three -
Wondering how anyone could fall in love with me.
But now I m old, hell I m well past twent-five -
And I can t seem to fall in love no matter how I try.

And I wonder where I ll wind up but I m headed west I know.
Wind my way through Texas and into New Mexico,
And I don t know what you ve been told,
The streets of where I m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
Yeah the streets of where I m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.

And I don t know what you ve been told,
The streets of where I m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
Yeah the streets of where I m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
Yeah the streets of where I m from are paved with hearts instead of gold.
