Streets Of Bakersfield Ringtones

I came here looking for something I couldn't find anywhere else Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody I just want a chance to be myself I've spent a thousand miles a-thumbin' Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels Trying to find me something better Here on the streets of Bakersfield Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? Spent sometime in San Francisco I spent a night there in the can They threw this drunk man in my jail cell I took 15 dollars from that man Left him my watch and my old house key Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal Then I thanked him as I was leaving And I headed out for Bakersfield Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? How many of you that sit and judge me Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Along these broken pavements I let my mind run free The past and the present Seem just the same to me The people I have loved most Among these stones they dwell And in the cleanest language The stories they did tell They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Depending on your view point This place is blessed or cursed And in the years I've lived here I've seen the best and worst An air of sordid passion A look of dirty grace But not right in your face It's not that kind of place They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Down greasy potholed roadways I watch the traffic crawl But for the cars and busses I give no thought at all I think about the future I wonder at her health How with this human wealth She does renew herself They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me

Don't put me in your dreams Don't bet your money on me You're backing a loser if you do I'm just wasting your time On the streets of Galilee If you think you see something in me And there's something that you can believe It's your own illusion that you see You're just lost in the dark On the streets of Galilee So when you wake up in the morning And your sheets are covered in sweat I'm somewhere you don't wanna be I'm in the gutter and the bones Of the streets of Galilee Well, I don't grovel and I don't pander Give a fuck what you say I don't need you, you don't need me I think we both should disappear Onto the streets of Galilee Never to be forgotten on the streets of Galilee

You can say it all And I can bite my tongue Cause it would take all week To tell you where I'm from I know what you're about Why don't you close your mouth? And step right over here So we can dance this out These lazy days are way to long Like razor blades, under your tongue And the city lights, will burn you down Or build you up, high above the ground High above the ground, high above the ground High above the ground The club is getting dark And I can feel the heat I set my hands right down To right below your knees If this is all there is Then this is all there can be Cause I don't see no road That leads to you and me. Paved the way on empty roads Into a grave gold headstone And the path you take may be your own But tonight, you walk on streets of gold Walk on streets of gold, you walk on streets of gold Where did you go? When the sun rose Now I know, how to get off these dirt roads To find these streets of gold Where did you go? When the sun rose Now I know how to get off these dirt roads To find these streets of gold Walk on streets of gold, you walk on streets of gold

Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something to make you change your mind In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven Same old man sitting there on his own Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup Each tea lasts an hour then he wanders home alone So how can you tell me you're lonely And say for you the sun won't shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something to make you change your mind I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Well I sold the farm to take my woman Where she wanted to be We left our friends and all our kin Back there in Tennessee And I bought those one way tickets She had often begged me for And they took us to the streets of Baltimore Well her heart was filled with gladness When she saw those city lights She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night Well a man feels proud to give his woman What she's longing for And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine And I bought a little cottage In a neighborhood serene And every night when I came home With every muscle sore She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore Well I tried my best to bring her back To what she used to be But I soon learned she loved those bright lights More than she loved me So I'm going back on that same train That brought me here before While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

From the point he gazed, from the choice was made But walk the cave or the shore The oily cave seemed to breathe on him from gravestone jaws His little hand grasped in anguish as he weighed up his coin Somewhere a blue eyed girl in the world is just waiting for a boy Footprints trailed as if trod by slaves up to the gray cave floor But not one graze from anything ever escaping this fort So with coin on hand his joy came back when ordered to take the shore Why on earth, as he wandered the warmth am I obeying this coin Turn your life on the flip of this coin Turn upside, a choice you'd normally avoid And promise me you'll follow what it says Whatever it says Again, walk within the trusted beach or swim the swell of the sea And again the scarier alternative looked like certain death to he He'd never learnt to skill of swimming, it never occurred to be very easy And again he winced as he flipped his coin and it twirled to his feet How is this sane? He blamed the coin now aiming for the waves As he hesitated at the swirl of water that now raged and rained Blue eyed girls were waiting and he was drowning in the spray Blue eyed girls, he should have been acquainted with But for shouting and flailing Turn your life on the flip of this coin Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid And promise me you'll follow what it says Whatever it says He finally slugs it back to land feeling chewed up and foolish Empties his pockets on the sand spewing a pool each Staggers back to his dad who's too cool to be So he says, why did you have me follow this stupid rule, please To be honest little fellow, I'll tell you I was just as afraid as you But you said you wanted to get with people and places ever new And I got a bit scared about the fate of my baby son's future So I invented a reason to see whether you could ever make do As soon as you appeared behind that rock looking angry at me I soon realized what a hell of a man you've ended up being I knew you'd worked out how to swim which I hadn't had in me And I stand as a companion of you proudest a man has ever been Turn your life on the flip of this coin Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid And promise me you'll follow what it says Whatever it says

Round and round, up and down Through the streets of your town Every day I make my way Through the streets of your town And don't the sun look good today?

Streets Of London Have you seen the old man In the closed-down market Kicking up the paper, With his worn out shoes? In his eyes you see no pride Hand held loosely at his side Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? She's no time for talking, She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

Let me take you by the hand and walk you through The streets of London I'll show you something to make you change your mind Have you seen the old man Outside the Seaman's Mission Memory fading with the medals that he wears In our winter city, The rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero And a world that doesn't care

Hello God, it's me again, two a.m. room 304, Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug 'o' war, The sleeping child between us, may not make it through the night, I'm fightin' back the tears, as she fights for her life. And it must be kinda crowded, on the streets of heaven, So tell me, what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever, But right now, I need her so much more, She's much to young, to be on her own, barely just turned seven, So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven? Tell me God, do you remember, the wishes that she made, As she blew out the candles, on her last birthday cake, She wants to ride a pony, when she's big enough, She wants to marry her daddy, when she's all grown up. Lord don't you know, she's my angel, you've got plenty of your own, And I know you hold a place for her, but she's already got a home, Well I don't know if you're listenin', but prayin's all that's left to do, So I ask you Lord have mercy, you lost a son once too. And it must be kinda crowded, on the streets of heaven, So tell me, what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever, But right now, I need her so much more, Lord I know, once you've made up your mind, there's no use in beggin', So if you take her with you today, will you make sure she looks both ways? And will you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven, The streets of heaven
