3,000 Miles Lyrics - Where You Live - Tracy Chapman

Good girls walk fast 

In groups of three 

Fast girls walk slow 

On side streets 

Sometimes the girls who walk alone 

Aren't found for days or weeks 

On the busy boulevards 

Bad boys call you names 

And cruise you hard 

Bullies laugh and grin and beat 

Your soft skin against 

The cold concrete 

[Chorus] 

I'm 3,000 miles away [Repeat: x4] 

Knock you down 

Make you bleed 

Make you cry 

And make you think 

I'll die here soon if I don't leave 

If I don't leave if I don't leave 

This patch of sky and native ground 

Take turns to push and pull you down 

Forget trying to live and be happy 

I'll take safe and terror free 

[Chorus] 

Hit the floor 

Shut off the lights 

As the bullets fly 

Terror rules the dark night 

Dogs hang from the trees 

Training ground for punks and thieves 

Home of poor white retirees 

Who didn't bail 

And couldn't sell 

When color made the grass less green 

[Chorus] 

Apples are filled with razor blades 

But fools and innocents believe 

That love and faith and truth and beauty 

Can make a garden of this human factory 

[Chorus] 

Bad girls run fast 

Leave home alone 

No trace or clue of where they've gone 

Sometimes these girls are never found 

Never found never found 

[Chorus]
