this song goes out to a good friend of mine
|
He lives life to the fullest, (yeah) every single day
|
|
Down in Oakland
|
I'm gonna find them
|
I'm gonna get them
|
I'll go rewind them
|
You can not hide them
|
I will go find them
|
Oh down in Oakland
|
It's such a sinner
|
|
With a hard boy drunken Ballentine
|
He's got 7 teeth left in his head, yea
|
He works at dark's in the day
|
At night he walks with the dead
|
And this lady come over to him
|
She want us take him for a ride
|
She said, "This dirty old town is no place a hide"
|
|
Time going away in town
|
And you got nowhere to go
|
Oh you can not move around
|
When your stuck in a blizzard snow
|
You wear your royals and eights
|
And you choose what's gonna be a sight
|
She said, "This dirty old town is no place a hide"
|
|
Down in Oakland
|
I'm gonna find them
|
I'm gonna get them
|
I'll go rewind them
|
You can not hide them
|
I will go find them
|
Oh down in Oakland
|
It's such a sinner
|
|
"Hey, where am I?"
|
|
Down in Oakland
|
I'm gonna find them
|
I'm gonna get them
|
I'll go rewind them
|
You can not hide them
|
I will go find them
|
Oh down in Oakland
|
It's such a sinner
|
