Midtown American Main Street Gang Lyrics

Through nights of irresponsibility and a lack of self-
control

I feared the friends I ran with, but I loved to live
the role

Five of us in Levi jeans who passed on basketball

We all lived on Presley's 45s and were beckoned to the
call

Every night was Halloween when they picked me up at
eight

We raced the moon to madness before midnight made our
fate

Drinking beer and smoking burned-Out butts till the
Camels killed our lungs

The liquor sent us spinning out and brought a thickness
to our tongues.

Chorus:

Roamin' in the halls

Rackin' up the balls

Climbln' up the walls

Don't you hear the calls
Lookin' for a place to hang

The Midtown American Main Street Gang

An afternoon of boredom was cured by a quarter and a
cue

Stealing things form the counter top when there was
nothing else to do

Bobby knocked up Sheri, we ushered him out one day

And Dave and Johnny took the buddy system and they went
the Army way

Two stolen cars took Larry, he got three to five for
each

I came to grips with growin' up, but it's still too far
to reach

The memory's old and the story's told in all the songs
that Presley sang

Are you puttin' me on, is the DA gone, like the Midtown
American Main Street Gang?

Repeat Chorus
