Lynyrd Skynyrd - Backstreet Crawler текст песни

(r. hall, e. king, g. rossington)

I snuck around the corner he had this guy down

I through the first punch thats when he hit the ground

To survive in the street you gotta win the first round

cause if you want eat you gotta be the baddest one around

Im a backstreet crawler

Daddy paid for college I earned a degree

Got a job up on wall street

Where I learned to make the little man bleed

Thats when I got stomped like a cattle stampede

Had a nervous breakdown all my friends and family left me

(chorus)

Yeah Im a backstreet crawler

When you see them on the concrete its their spirit thats harder

Yeah Im a backstreet crawler

Where your ego meets defeat and your pride cant get no smaller

Yeah Im a backstreet crawler

Yeah Im a backstreet crawler

I guess you might say it sure is a shame

I used to have everything oh how my life has changed

Yeah Im broken and torn Ive never been free

Lost everything that meant a thing to me

(repeat chorus)
