from the corners of the country from the cities and the farms with years and years of living
tucked up underneath their arms they walk away from everything just to see a dream come true
so god bless the boys who make the noise on 16th avenue
with a million dollar spirit and an old flat top guitar they drive to town with all they own in a
hundred dollar car because one time someone told him about a friend of a friend they knew
who won't
you know a studio on 16th avenue
now some are born to money they've never had to say survive and got their swing and nine pound
hammer just to stay alive there's cowboys drunks and christians mostly white and black and blue
they've all dialed a phone collector
home
i've been one night in some empty room where no curtains ever hot
like a miracle some golden words roll off of someone's tongue after years of being nothing
they're all again
right at you and then for a while they'll go in style on 16th avenue
hey it looks so uneventful so quiet and discreet
but a lot of lives were changed down on that little one-way street
cause they walk away from everything just to see a dream come true
so god bless the boys so god bless the boys who make the noise on 16th avenue
from the
form of the
of the country
from the
from the cities and the farms
with years
you
underneath their arms
they walk away from town with no good feelings
from everything
just to sing for me and you
So God bless the boys
who make the noise
on 16th Avenue
