Intro: verse 1 I've been down I've been down too far to care I keep gettin' 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' round Where's a boy with bad intentions Gonna settle down And I don't know What you've been told The streets of the where I'm from Are paved with hearts instead of gold Yeah the streets of the where I'm from Are paved with hearts instead of gold verse 2 I recall When I was twenty three Wondering how anyone could Fall in love with me Now I'm old And I'm well past twenty five And I can't seem to fall in love No matter how hard I try And I wonder where I'll wind up But I'm heading 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 the where I'm from Are paved with hearts instead of gold Yeah the streets of the where I'm from Are paved with hearts instead of gold (2x) Outro Yeah the streets of the where I'm from Are paved with hearts instead of gold
