16th Avenue Lyrics

16th Avenue lyrics

from the corners of the country

from the cities and the farms 

with
years and years of living 

tucked up underneath their arms 



they walked away from everything 

just to see a dream come true

so god bless the boys who make the noise 

on 16th avenue 



with a million dollar spirit 

and an old flattop guitar

they
drive to town with all they own 

in a hundred dollar car



cause one time someone told them 

about a friend of a friend they
knew

who owns you know a studio 

on 16th avenue 



now
some were born to money

they've never had to say ""survive""

and
others swing a 9 pound hammer 

just to stay alive



there's
cowboys drunks and christians 

mostly white and black and blue 

they've all dialed the phone collect to home 

from 16th avenue 



ah, but one night in some empty room 

where no curtains ever
hung 

like a miracle some golden words

rolled off of someone's
tongue 



and after years of being nothing 

they're all
looking rigt at you 

and for a while they'll go in style 

on 16th
avenue



it looked so uneventful 

so quiet and discreet 

but a lot of lives where changed 

down in that little one way street




cause they walk away from everything 

just to see a deam
come true 

so god bless the boys who make the noise

on 16t avenue
