Bruce Hornsby - The Old Playground текст песни

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby

Walking on the sidewalk, roundball under my arm

Everybody knows how you play is who you are

Walking down the road, looking for a game or two

The real moves come through, no matter what theyre gonna do

Its down to you

Take me to the old playground

Where the old ones rule, and the young ones do their time

Take me to the old playground

Where the talk is cheap

And the restless stalk the baseline

The old sage frowns, he says just pass it on around

But all-world juniors pulling up from downtown

For some its a way out, for some its a way in

Most of us dont even care

Were just looking for another gym to get in

Take me to the old playground

Where the old ones rule, and the young ones do their time

Take me to the old playground

Where some play from dreams

And the rest just play for pride

The old man said stop running with those boys

But they know what to do and their folks dont mind the noise

Say hey now, everybodys gonna get along

Just call your own foul when you break the rules

If you make it, take it, so make your move

Take me to the old playground

Where the old ones rule, and the young ones do their time

Take me to the old playground

Where the talk is cheap

And the restless stalk the baseline
