| Lou Rawls Miscellaneous Dead End Street (1967) I was born in a city the called the Windy City And they call it the Windy City because of the Hawk. All mighty Hawk Talking about Mr. Wind kind of mean around winter time I happen to live on a street that was a dead-end street There was nothing to block or buffer the wind, the elements Keep them from knocking my pad down, Jim I mean really socking it to me And the boiler would bust and the heat was gone I would have to get fully dressed before I could go the bed Put everything on but my goulashes cause they had buckles on them And my folks didnt play that said dont you be getting up in there with Buckles on them goulashes and tear up my bed clothes but I was fortunate As soon as I was big enough to get a job save me enough money to buy me a ticket I split I got myself together now so Im going back there to see about it see if its still the same I just wanted to tell you about it, you know its all right They say this is a big rich town I live in the poorest part I was raised on a dead-end street in a city without a heart I learned to fight before I was six only way I could get along But when youre raised on a dead-end street you have to be tough and strong Now all the guys are always getting in trouble that the way its always been But when the odds are all against you how can you win Im gonna push my way out of here ever thou I cant say when But Im gonna get off of this dead-end street and I aint never gonna coma back again Im gonna push my way out of here ever thou I cant say when But Im gonna get off of this dead-end street And I aint never gonna come back to live here again Never, No I aint gonna come back here to live on this dead-end street no more Cause Im gonna get me a job, Im gonna save my dough Get away from here you-all, I aint gonna come back no more Not ever, dead-end street I tired of breaking my back gonna start using my mind Tired of working all of the time I say theres trouble down there I say theres trouble down there I say theres trouble down there yeah Down off a dead-end street Down off a dead-end street |
