Streetwise
The Rocking Chairs
Grew up in this backwards town - dusty alleyways
Learned what they want to you - just the hard way
Pushed around by so-called friends - what you spoke out
They shoved you back down in your seat - when you stood up
It's a long, hard walk on wild streets
Hold on, don't turn back, try to be
Streetwise, streetwise, streetwise
Everyday's just another road - stretchin' out ahead
False step and you wind right up - on the wrong track
What's the use stickin' to the rules - when it's not a game
It's a long, hard walk on wild streets
Hold on, don't turn back, try to be
Streetwise, streetwise, streetwise
Push a little harder, reach a little higher
Try a little longer, hold a little tighter
Yeah, tighter yeah, a little tighter...
It's a long, hard walk on wild streets
Hold on, don't turn back, try to be
Streetwise, streetwise, streetwise
