[A] Down city streets I [G] would roll I
[D] had no bed I [A] had no home
Crawled out of bushes [D] early morning
[G] Used [D] newspapers [A] to keep me warm
Then I'd have to score [D] a drink
[G] Start me up, [A] help me to think
Down city streets I [G] would roll
[D] Use my fingers [A] as a comb
In those days [D] when I was young
[G] Drinking and fighting
[A] was no fun
It was daily living [D] for me
[G] I had no choice [A] it was meant to be
Down city streets I [G] would roll I
[D] had no bed I [A] had no home
There was nothing that [G] I owned
[D] Use my fingers [A] as a comb
Now I'm a man
[D] I'm not alone I
[G] am [D] married I [A] have children of my own
Now I have something I call my own [E]
[G] These are my [D] children [A] and this is my home
[D] I look around
[A] and understand [G] How street [D] kids feel [A] when they're put down
Down city streets I [G] would roll I
[D] had no bed I [A] had no home
There was nothing that [G] I owned
[D] Use my fingers [A] as a comb
Down city streets I [G] would roll I
