Streets Of Where I'm From Lyrics - Too Far To Care - Old 97's

I've been down, I've been down too far to care 

I keep getting in my car but I'm not going anywhere 

And I've been had, well at least that's how it looks 

And it's not funny like on TV and it's not smart like it is in books 

And I wonder, yeah, I wonder how the world keeps spinnin' around 

Where's a boy with bad intentions gonna settle down? 

And I don't know what you've been told 

The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold 

Yeah, the streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold 

I recall, when I was twenty-three 

Wondering how anyone could fall in love with me 

But now I'm old, hell, I'm well past twenty-five 

And I can't seem to fall in love no matter how I try 

And I wonder where I'll wind up but I'm headed west I know 

Wind my way through Texas and into New Mexico 

And I don't know what you've been told 

The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold 

Yeah, the streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold 

And I don't know what you've been told 

The streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold 

Yeah, the streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold 

Yeah, the streets of where I'm from are paved with hearts instead of gold
