"Off Broadway" lyrics
Here we sit in this place that's frozen in time
Where they turn the mighty Mississippi into sweet barley wine
Well there's cracks in the sidewalk and clothes on the line
As we stroll hand in hand in this land that's frozen in time
Graffiti tattoos cover faded brick walls
And the street people answer whenever you call
They raise their eyebrows each time I say, "Y'all"
And they smile each time I say, "Friend"
Somewhere off broadway, St. Louis, Missouri
I fell in love once again
All the red brick chimneys are puffing with smoke
As we head to the pub and we spark up a toke
And the night it's as black as a coal miner's coat
We sing out of tune like an alley cat choir
And cough through the laughter and tobacco fire
If tonight were a steeple it couldn't sit higher
This place that I hold in my heart
For all of my friends
Somewhere off broadway, St. Louis, Missouri
I fell in love once again
I fell in love once again
Where they turn the mighty Mississippi into sweet barley wine
Well there's cracks in the sidewalk and clothes on the line
As we stroll hand in hand in this land that's frozen in time
Graffiti tattoos cover faded brick walls
And the street people answer whenever you call
They raise their eyebrows each time I say, "Y'all"
And they smile each time I say, "Friend"
Somewhere off broadway, St. Louis, Missouri
I fell in love once again
All the red brick chimneys are puffing with smoke
As we head to the pub and we spark up a toke
And the night it's as black as a coal miner's coat
We sing out of tune like an alley cat choir
And cough through the laughter and tobacco fire
If tonight were a steeple it couldn't sit higher
This place that I hold in my heart
For all of my friends
Somewhere off broadway, St. Louis, Missouri
I fell in love once again
I fell in love once again
