(2nd time) Well, the street lights...

Well the street lights shine
CGD
Down on Blessing Avenue

Lovers they walk by

Holdin' hands two by two

A breeze crosses the porch

Bicycle spokes spin 'round
DG
Jacket's on, I'm out the door

Tonight I'm gonna burn this town down
Chorus :
C* G
And the girls in their summer clothes
C* G
In the cool of the evening light
C* G
The girls in their summer clothes
D
Pass me by
Kid's rubber ball smacks
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
Big bank clock chimes
Off go the sleepy front porch lights
Downtown the store's alive
As the evening's underway
Things been a little tight
But I know they're gonna turn my way
(Chorus)

Frankie's Diner's

Over on the edge of town

Neon sign spinnin' round

Like a cross over the Lost and Found

Fluorescent lights

Flicker above Bob's Grill

Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "Fill?"
D7GCD
And says "Penny for your thoughts now, my poor Bill"
She went away
She cut me like a knife
Had a beautiful thing
Maybe you just saved my life
DCBEm
In just a glance
CGD
Down here on Magic Street

Love's a fool's dance

I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet
