Dead End Street (2016 Remastered) Lyrics

Well, I was raised on a back street
Time's were tough, but kind of bittersweet
Left school when I was still a child
Hit the streets and started running wildHanging out in the neighborhood
People said they're up to no good
Never thought I'd ever make it through
Hey boy, what you gonna do?Crosstown traffic, sirens wailing, screaming in my ear
It's got me on the run, gotta move on out of hereI'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street
Well, it's got me beat, on a dead end street
I can't go no further, won't somebody rescue me?
From this dead end street, oh yeahThey still talk about the big fight
On the backstreet at midnight
Everybody heard the gunfire
Saw him dragged into the Black MariaNow, my best friend is doing time
He's committed to a life of crime
Got a feeling, I'll be next in line
I wonder how can I get out in time?I stepped into a movie, this can't be reality
If I wasn't so lucky, I wonder where I'd be?I'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street

Well, it's got me beat, on a dead end street
I can't go no further, won't somebody rescue me?
From this dead end street, oh yeahCrosstown traffic, sirens wailing, screaming in my ear
It's got me on the run, gotta move on outta hereI'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street
Well, it's got me beat, on a dead end street
It's got me walking, it's got me talking
I'm on a dead end street, I'm on a dead end street
