The Streets Where I Belong

Annie, Annie, they're playing our song

And for a moment I'm transported to where I'm from

Teenage lovers, when we were young

All of the parties under the midnight sun

That's when I met the love of my life

He was a DJ and we danced all through the night

Tell me, tell me, why did you go?

I can still hear our songs on the radio

Whatever happened to us all?

Wherever I go I'll recall

All those summer days

In a town down by the bay

And when you close your eyes, pretend

And then you're back there once again

As the sound begins to fade

And the band begins to play

I let the music take me home

To the streets where I belong

Johnny, Johnny, playing guitar

Travelled the world, he always fell for the short-haired girls

Left a loner, came back a star

We used to see him playing live at the local bars

The saddest story was the woman next door

A beauty queen that met her end on a motel floor

She used to tell me, "Annie, don't stay

Go sing your songs, or if not you'll fade away"

Whatever happened to them all?

Wherever I go I'll recall

All those friends we made

In a town down by the bay

And when you close your eyes, pretend

And then you're back there once again

As the sound begins to fade

And the band begins to play

I let the music take me home

To the streets where I belong

Take it away, Johnny

Annie, Annie

Annie, Annie

Annie, Annie
