I grew up by the river Hudson Deep and dark as your feet can sink Stuck inside The project buildings Where the sun can never reach your face You have Had special something You could hold the sky with yourself Well you had the clouds And you wanted out So you blew this town Well I'll just stand right here Oh boy Well I'll just stay right here Ing me a song It's been too long Just you stay right here I'll just stay right here Oh boy I'll just stay right here Sing me a song It's been too long You just stay right here And when I hear that old Train whistle sing I don't bother to look out my window I know there's nowhere to run for me Well our faces They're all dirty From the dust you kicked up with your shoes Well you had your way You couldn't stay You just couldn't stay So don't you come round here Oh boy Don't you come round here You left your own blood In the mud down here
