Streets of Paradise Lyrics


From a backwater town in Ohio, all the way down to New Orleans
Hiding deep in the bayou, waiting on a Northbound river queenFor too many years now, I've been the devil's own
In a midnight rage, I take the streets alone[CHORUS]
Living in the shadows, hiding in the shadows of night
Wounded in the shadows, down on the streets,
Down on the streets
Down on the streets of paradiseWalking around there was a wound in my head
For many long days I was left there for dead
So many miles from the borderline
Only half a man down on the streets tonight

Poco, founded in 1968 by Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Richie Furay and Jim Messina (both inducted 1997 with Buffalo Springfield), was one of the earliest in the "country rock" genre that was later commercially popularized by bands such as the Eagles. The band was completed by Rusty Young (pedal steel guitar, dobro, banjo and mandolin) Randy Meisner on bass and George Grantham on drums. Poco's 1969 debut, "Pickin' Up the Pieces" (the title being a reference to the break-up of Buffalo Springfield), received some critical acclaim but generated very litttle enthusiasm commercially.
