crooked streetby ~raun

Photography / Architecture / Exterior

_{There's a crooked street in Houston town,
It's a well worn path I've traveled down
Now there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train,
I wished I'd listened to the words you said.

Don't go down to Fannin Street
Don't go down to Fannin Street
Don't go down to Fannin Street
You'll be lost and never found
you can never turn around
don't go down to Fannin Street

Once I held you in my arms, I was sure
But I took that silent step through the guilded door
The desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar,
I know this is where the sidewalk ends.

Don't go down to Fannin Street
Don't go down to Fannin Street
Don't go down to Fannin Street
You'll be lost and never found
you can never turn around
don't go down to Fannin Street

When I was young I thought only of getting out
I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house
Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard,
and I rue the day that I stepped off this train.}
