Tina Toledo's Street Walkin' Blues Songtext
von Ryan Adams

Sweet talkin′ Johnny push a John quicker than he spit
Street walkin' tin with a crooked crown waitin′ for it
There she goes
She born in Boston but the Amtrak took her away
She lives in Brooklyn but she works outta Queens in the

Them limousines, money in the bank
Black limousines, money in the bank
Send it home

Tina Toledo got a kid that lives with her ma
She takes the subway after school, makes up her face, changes clothes
There she goes
She feels the rain comin' down on Washington square
She gives the cops on the beat a little discount
And then, then, then it's

Black limousines, money in the bank
Black limousines, money in the bank
Send it home


Hard on the knees, money in the bag
Hard on the knees, money in the bag
Send it home for medical school, oh

Rock herself to sleep with the rhythm of the rain
Beating like the bed of
Against the window frame of her hotel room
Rock herself to sleep with the tunes on the dash
Don′t take no credit cards, she takes cash

Says, "Money, money, money in the bank
Money, money, money in the bank
Money, money, money in the bank
Money, money, money in the bank"

It ain′t no easy life but it pays pretty good
Keeps her out of the cold
It ain't no easy life
But it′s silver and gold, silver and gold
Silver, silver, silver and gold

Yeah, Tina
