Jackson Browne - Boulevard Lyrics
Down on the boulevard they take it hardThey look at life with such disregardThey say it cant be wonThe way the game is runBut if you choose to stayYou end up playing anywayIts okay--The kids in shock up and down the blockThe folks are home playing beat the clockDown at the golden cupThey set the young ones upUnder the neon lightSelling day for nightIts alright--Nobody rides for freeNobody gets it like they want it to beNobody hands you any guaranteeNobodyThe hearts are hard and the times are toughDown on the boulevard the nights enoughAnd time passes slowBetween the store front shadows and the street lights glowEverybody walks right by like theyre safe or somethingThey dont know--Nobody knows youNobody owes you nothinNobody shows you what theyre thinkingNobody babyHey, hey, babyYou got to watch the street, keep your feetAnd be on guardMake it pay babyIts only time on the boulevard
