Tin Pan Alley (aka Roughest Place In Town) Lyrics - Singles - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble

Went down to Tin Pan Alley 

To see what was goin' on 

Things was too hot down there 

Couldn't stay very long 

Hey hey hey hey, 

Alley's the roughest place I've ever been 

All the people down there 

Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I heard a pistol shoot 

Yeah and it was a .44 

Somebody killed a crap shooter 

Cause he didn't shake, rattle, and roll 

Hey hey hey hey, 

Alley's the roughest place I've ever been 

All the people down there 

Killin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standing 

With his hand on his gun 

He said, this is a raid boy 

Nobody run 

Hey hey hey hey, 

Alley's the roughest place I've ever been 

Yeah they took me away from Alley 

Lord they took me right back to the pen
