Well I`ve lived and breathed and been disbelieved
In these small town streets too long
I`ve held nothin` but aces and been many places
And hung on the corner `til dawn
But my hands have been tied
To a life I`ve been denied
I`m just a small town boy bein` used like a toy
And workin` a nine to five
Well I worked like a fool `til after done with high school
Just to form a rock and rollin` band
But the streets were exploding and my life I was decoding
Had a dream I couldn`t understand
And I work it out everyday
For no fun and very little pay
I`m just a smal town boy bein` used like a toy
And doin` what other people say
Well I`ve drooled and fooled and been ridiculed
For havin` dreams just above my reach
And I`ve lied and died and tried suicide
For all the things you people wanna preach
But I always had to turn the other way
When I heard those homefolks say
(They say) You`re just a small town boy bein` used like a toy
And livin` on a day to day
But you must believe that when I walk down the tracks
All those young girls fall back and say
There goes that sleek young silhouette
He don`t drive no Corvette
but he stings just like a Sting Ray
And that`s my only redemption in this house of detention
That keeps me from simply blowin` it all away
`Cause when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat
I say, God don`t take this away
Well by the end of the day, all the kids would go play
And I`d come staggering back home
With a dream in my hand and a master plan
That wouldn`t leave my mind alone
Well I compromised all my schemes
And I fluct Send " Chestnut Street Revisited" Ringtone to your Cell
