| We need to practice, take my city’s back streets
|
| There’s plenty to see there only if you care
|
| Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
|
| Behind the checks cashed here
|
| If you’re hungry you’re in luck since the border’s wide open
|
| If you’re tired there’s a park only if you dare
|
| Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
|
| Behind the checks cashed here
|
| Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should
|
| Wouldn’t change it at all, wouldn’t make it look new
|
| Oh…
|
| There’s the LDS church built in 1927
|
| I once knew someone who was banned from there
|
| Behind the thrifts and the shadeless day laborer
|
| Behind the checks cashed here
|
| So come along with me 'cause you’ll miss it on your own
|
| Graffiti art competes with muralists
|
| Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
|
| Where everything’s ninety-nine cents
|
| (Hey!)
|
| Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should
|
| Wouldn’t change you at all, wouldn’t make you brand new
|
| The metal cross on the wooden door protects the home not me anymore
|
| I always look to see if it’s been moved
|
| Your declining neighborhood
|
| Your declining neighborhood
|
| Don’t forget it, but don’t relive it
|
| Don’t get sucked back pulling out of this town
|
| There are places I won’t revisit
|
| If I don’t miss 'em, they’re fine without me around
|
| (Hey!)
|
| Don’t forget it, don’t relive it
|
| Don’t remember, don’t regret it
|
| There are places I won’t revisit around
|
| Don’t resist it, don’t resent it
|
| Don’t remember, don’t forget it
|
| There are places that are fine without me around
|
| (And round and round and round)
|
| (Woo!) |
