Browne Jackson Boulevard Lyrics

Boulevard Lyrics

BOULEVARD 

 Jackson Browne 

  

 Down on the boulevard they take it hard 

 They look at life with such disregard 

 They say it can't be won 

 The way the game is run 

 But if you choose to stay 

 You end up playing anyway 

 It's okay-- 

 The kid's in shock up and down the block 

 The folks are home playing beat the clock 

 Down at the golden cup 

 They set the young ones up 

 Under the neon light 

 Selling day for night 

 It's alright-- 

 Nobody rides for free 

 Nobody gets it like they want it to be 

 Nobody hands you any guarantee 

 Nobody 

 The hearts are hard and the times are tough 

 Down on the boulevard the night's enough 

 And time passes slow 

 Between the store front shadows and the street lights glow 

 Everybody walks right by like they're safe or something 

 They don't know-- 

 Nobody knows you 

 Nobody owes you nothin 

 Nobody shows you what they're thinking 

 Nobody baby 

 Hey, hey, baby 

 You got to watch the street, keep your feet 

 And be on guard 

 Make it pay baby 

 It's only time on the boulevard
