Uptown Streets

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
Yeah I wrote it on the back of
My hand so I wouldn't forget

Those uptown streets we all drive down
They may be worn out, be broken
And yet somehow they carried so many
Of us to safety those uptown streets
We walk those now

Gotta keep your eyes wide open all the time
Gotta keep your focus on the bigger prize
I was buying one cent candies
At the corner store
Riding BMX like a paper delivery boy

Those uptown streets we all drive down
They may be worn out, be broken
And yet somehow they carried so many
Of us to safety those uptown streets
We walk those now

Yeah we still walk those streets
We still walk those streets

Those uptown streets we all drive down
They may be worn out, be broken
And yet somehow they carried so many
Of us to safety those uptown streets
We walk those now
