This Part of Town
Play that 5th ave poetry
and the lock the door
I won't say beautiful
you're so much more
won't you move your hips like that
do that thing I like
we both need sleep so bad
be up all night
Those kind of tough boys never punch
all bark no bite
got a life on lay away
for someone else to buy
this shift wont end for days
we fight the sleep
with bad coffee from the lounge
hillbilly speed
We’ve been getting by for years
never wanted any better
in this part of town
its when not if or ever
put the glass up for things
they could never take away
cause we still got our pride
at the end of every day
Play that em song in the club
I lose my head
I've known these guys for years
you can bring your friends
and I know this place it ain’t much
the carpets all worn
but they never kick you out
of let you drive home
We’ve been getting by for years
never wanted any better
in this part of town
its when not if or ever
put your glass up for the songs
they could never take away
no amount of shine
changes what you have to say
Play that 5th ave poetry
but don't speak your mind
cause real talk don't sell the same
as synthetic shine
I don’t think Dylan done
done it that way
but those were different times
you've been replaced
