I've been down
I've been down too far to care
I keep gettin' in my car
But I'm not going anywhere
And I've been had
Well at least that's how it looks
And it's not funny like on tv
And it's not smart like it is in books
And I wonder, yeah I wonder
How the world keeps spinnin' round
Where's a boy with bad intentions
Gonna settle down
And I don't know
What you've been told
The streets of the where I'm from
Are paved with hearts instead of gold
Yeah the streets of the where I'm from
Are paved with hearts instead of gold
verse 2
I recall
When I was twenty three
Wondering how anyone could
Fall in love with me
Now I'm old
And I'm well past twenty five
And I can't seem to fall in love
No matter how hard I try
And I wonder where I'll wind up
But I'm heading west I know
Wind my way through Texas
And into New Mexico
And I don't know
What you've been told
The streets of the where I'm from
Are paved with hearts instead of gold
Yeah the streets of the where I'm from
Are paved with hearts instead of gold (2x)
Outro
Yeah the streets of the where I'm from
Are paved with hearts instead of gold
