Every Street in Town

knew a woman,

She was my friend,

When we met I felt like I'd been born again

Ah, we spent all our time outside

'Cause people say small things when they stay too long in little rooms.

In the sunshine

In the rain or snow

We even climbed a pinetree in a tornado

Outside was where all our live was found

And I guess we must have walked on every street in town.

Every street in town,

Every street in town,

In the cool summer evenings

Or when the snow was falling down,

We'd go walkin' on every street in town.

She'd been gone such a long, long time

But it's often I feel her right there by my side

When I'm walkin' I'm talkin' to her

In the wet and yellow fall

Or past the parks in the summer

Where the kids is playin' ball

An' it's sometimes I see a woman out alone

An' she worried about gettin' back to her home

An' I think of my friend and all of the joy that we found

When we's just walkin' and talkin' on every street in town.

An' I wonder when the day will every come

When we won't be so sad and so dumb

An' when a woman could walk out free in the day and night

Without havin' to worry if she's gonna be alright on

Every street in town,

Every street in town,

In the cool summer evenings

Or when the snow was falling down,

We'd go walkin' on every street in town.
