Backstreet Crawler

(R. Hall, E. King, G. Rossington)
 I snuck around the corner he had his guard down
 I threw the first punch that's 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
 I'm 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
 That's when I got stomped like a cattle stampede
 Had a nervous breakdown all my friends and family left me
 (chorus)
 Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
 When you see them on the concrete it's their spirit that's harder
 Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
 Where your ego meets defeat and your pride can't get no smaller
 Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
 Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
 (repeat)
 I guess you might say it sure is a shame
 I used to have everything oh how my life has changed
 Yeah I'm broken and torn I've never been free
 Lost everything that meant a thing to me
 (repeat chorus)
