The Streets

Well I tried so hard but still I fall
 Fall back down the great below
 And it's been a while since I have prayed
 But tonight I'm on my knees
 I'm asking why, why, why, why, why me?
 I guess the streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
 I said the streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
 So keep pouring me drinks till I forget my name
 I love my life but it gets hard
 As I'm sure it does for us all from time to time, yeah
 So keep living it through, I'll keep living it too
 I hang my head, hang it low
 And I pray that it gets a little better down the line
 Why, why? Why, why, why me?
 The streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
 I said the streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
 Oh sweet mother of two, you work hard,
 So hard to keep your heads above the water
 And although I stand on the shore with a line,
 I can't seem to untangle it
 From the selfish dreams of my own
 I wish I had just a little more money
 To help you out in the times
 When it's hard, so hard, so hard
 The streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
 I said the streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
 The streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
 I said the streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
 The streets is where I's born
 And the streets is where I'll die
 Until then the streets is where I'll be
