STREETS OF GOLD

Walkin' down the alley
 Just tryin' to find the main street
 I'm gonna travel all the way there
 Standing up on my own feet
 I wanna see the place
 Where the clouds give way to the sun
 And no man has to answer to anyone
 I wanna make my mark before I'm old
 That's why I'm looking for the place
 Where I've been told
 There's streets of gold
 Looking for the streets of gold
 Tryin' to find my way
 Looking for a better day
 Livin' like an invisible man
 Ain't a whole lotta fun
 It's hard to pull yourself up by your bootstraps
 When you haven't got none
 You know there's got to be an easier way
 But life goes on, just day by day
 Happiness can't be bought or sold
 That's why I'm looking for the streets
 The streets of gold, the streets of gold
 I know they're out there somewhere
 Those street of gold
 Well, they say every dog has his day
 And this big dog sure wants to play
 Tryin' to find a place for you and me
 In this land of opportunity
 Sometimes it's a long, long road
 Until you get to the streets
 The streets of gold
 Yes, looking for a better day
 We're gonna find it somehow, someway
 And not even have to pay
 Yes, they're the streets of gold
 Just looking for the streets of gold
