Down City Streets (2013 Remaster) Songtext
von Archie Roach

Down city streets I would roam,
I had no bed I had no home,
There was nothing that I owned,
I used my fingers as a comb,

Crawled out of the bushes early morn,
Used newspapers to keep me warm,
Then I′d have to score a drink calm my nerves help me to think,

Down city streets I would roam,
I had no bed I had no home,
There was nothing that I owned,
I used my fingers as a comb,


In those days when I was young drinking and fighting was no fun,
It was daily living for me I had no choice it was meant to be,

Down city streets I would roam,
I had no bed I had no home,
There was nothing that I owned,
I used my fingers as a comb,

Now I'm a women I′m not alone,
I am married, I have children of my own,
Now I have something to call my own
these are my children this is my home,
I look around and understand how
street kids feel when they're put down.
