"THE CORNER"
(copr)2004 Bill Pittman All rights reserved
The Corner's what we called it, we'd pull in and shoot the breeze
If concrete parking lots could talk, guys would hit their knees
The Corner hasn't changed much, it's actually still there
But all my friends since moved on, scattered everywhere
[ CHORUS: ]
What I'd give to hang out on the corner all night long
But what's the point going there, sitting all alone
I wish back then, I'd realized, my friends would move around
I would've made them sign an I.O.U., one more night
On The Corner downtown
The Corner saw romance but mostly rebel things
Like drinking beer and seeing who could blow the best smoke rings
And our old town had just one cop and he gave us our space
Sitting still don't hurt no one, it was our private place
[ CORNER - REPEAT ]
[ BRIDGE: ]
I find it odd the way it works, how friends come, then go
And even if someone moves back, the wife must somehow know
Hal moved back and I was glad, he was a Corner man
But Mollye tighted up the string, she said The Corner's banned
[ CHORUS - REPEAT ]
If you ever lived in Plain Dealing, no explaining is necessary.
I hope you'll let me know if you like this, I am trying to figure out which songs are worthy.
