Lyrics

On Final Avenue and First Street
Them corner boys used to kick my ass
I guess tonight I'll get a pass
Sidewalk's gone clean, more green than concrete
The rest turned into steel and glass
All pretty strange to stranger's eyes
Then the rain starts beating
On the roof of my cab
No parade for me
On the backstreets of my
Backstreets of my past
Easy
Takes time
So take it easy
Give it time
Down memory lane a voice comes roaring
Up by the gate stands my old man
Arms open wide and for a moment
All I know now is all I knew then
Like the back of his right hand
And the rain's still beating
On the roof of my cab
No parade for me
On the backstreets of my
Backstreets of my past
Easy
Takes time
So take it easy
Give it time
And the rain keeps beating
On the roof of my cab
With the weight of defeat
And the truth comes to light
What a kick in the teeth
To be back here alive
Not for lack of trying
On the backstreets of my
Backstreets of my past
Easy
Takes time
So take it easy
Give it time
