Song information
Artist: Bette Midler Album: Bette Of Roses
Lyrics
I know these streets and these backyards This barn that's falling down We come to where they're building now And ride our bikes around
You think I'm just a little kid Some troubles on the way But I knew this place before you did Is all I've got to say
I'm only walking Through these streets and all around I'm only walking I know this town
We come home through these fields at night About a million times I'd walk the road with my eyes closed And all the paths besdies
And I know the boy who broke this fence And I know his brother, too And they's never give me half a chance If I let on to you
I'm only walking Through these streets and all around I'm only walking I know this town I know this town
We dam the streams, we raid the shacks And hide in boxcars on the tracks We know these quarries in our sleep And where they're cold and where they're deep
I'll go down to the bowling alley And buy smokes and dentyne I find some loose change every day Under that coke machine
You check me out as you drive by Like there was some big deal But I know so much you'll never find From there behind the wheel
I'm only walking Through these streets and all around I'm only walking I know this town I know this town I know this town I know this town
