Uptown Streets

[Verse 1]

On a Saturday night, in the year of the Summer of Sam

I was truly scared, for the first nine years I ran

It was a mighty fine day in the USA I bet

Wrote it on the back of my hand so I wouldn't forget

[Chorus]

Those uptown streets

We all drive down

They may be worn out, be at broken, and yet somehow

They carry so many

Of us to safety

Those uptown streets

We walk those now

[Verse 2]

Gotta keep your eyes wide open all the time

Gotta keep your focus on the bigger prize

I was buying one at the corner store

Riding BMX like a paper delivery boy

[Chorus]

Those uptown streets

We all drive down

They may be worn out, be at broken, and yet somehow

They carry so many

Of us to safety

Those uptown streets

We walk those now

[Bridge]

Yeah

We still walk those streets

We still walk those streets

[Chorus]

Those uptown streets

We all drive down

They may be worn out, be at broken, and yet somehow

They carry so many

Of us to safety

Those uptown streets

We walk those now
