On Carey Street – Richard Murray

CH
Im goin down on Carey Street
Goin way on down in the summer heat
Goin down on Carey Street
For loadin sixteen tons again

V1
Been a long time since I left my home
Toked the Big Smoke as I was roamin around
Since then I made Nada
With my Stratocaster made down in Ensenada

CH
Im down on Carey Street
Goin way on down in the snow and sleet
Goin down on Carey Street
For loadin sixteen tons again

BR
Im down where the money burnes
Another day older but I'll never learn
Playin round for the unconcerned
Bleedin fingers and nothin earned

CH

BR

V2
But there's a fire burnin still after all this time
And its burnin in a belly full of number nine
When it seems my dreams may never be
I just load it up like Tennessee

CH

CH
Im goin down on Carey Street
Goin way on down where the deadbeat meet
You load sixteen tons and then repeat
Down Carey Street again
Down Carey Street again
