[00:00:01] Dead End Street (2006 Digital Remaster) - Lou Rawls

[00:00:02] Written by：D. Axelrod/B. Raleigh/L. Rawls

[00:00:14] I was born in a city that they call

[00:00:16] The Windy city

[00:00:19] And they call it the Windy

[00:00:19] City because of the Hawk

[00:00:22] The Hawk

[00:00:23] The Almighty hawk

[00:00:25] Mister Wind

[00:00:27] Takes care of plenty business

[00:00:29] 'Round winter time

[00:00:34] The place that I lived in

[00:00:37] Was on a street that uh

[00:00:39] Happened to be one of

[00:00:40] The dead end streets

[00:00:43] Where there was nothing to block

[00:00:46] The wind the elements

[00:00:49] Nothing to buffer them for me

[00:00:51] To keep 'em

[00:00:52] From knockin' my bed down d'y'hea'm

[00:00:55] I mean really sockin' it to me

[00:00:58] When the boiler would bust

[00:00:59] And the heat was gone d'y'hea'm

[00:01:02] I had to get fully dressed before

[00:01:04] I could go to bed

[00:01:05] Course I couldn't put on

[00:01:06] My goulashes 'cause

[00:01:07] They had buckles on 'em

[00:01:08] And my folks didn't play that

[00:01:09] They said don't you tear up

[00:01:11] My bed clothes wit' dem boot hushies on

[00:01:14] But I was fortunate

[00:01:16] Soon as I was big enough to get

[00:01:18] A job and save enough money

[00:01:19] Get a ticket

[00:01:21] Catch anything I split

[00:01:24] And I said one day I'm 'onna return

[00:01:27] And I'm gonna straighten it all out

[00:01:30] And I'm 'bout ready to go back now

[00:01:32] So I thought I'd tell you about it

[00:01:38] Ah they say this is a big rich town

[00:01:41] But I live in the poorest part

[00:01:46] I know I'm on a dead end street

[00:01:49] In a city without a heart

[00:01:53] I learned to fight before I was six

[00:01:57] The only way I could get along

[00:02:02] When you're raised on a dead end street

[00:02:05] You've gotta be tough and strong

[00:02:09] Now all the guys I know gettin' in trouble

[00:02:11] That's how it's always been

[00:02:13] When the odds are all against you

[00:02:15] How can you win

[00:02:17] Yeah

[00:02:19] Yeah yeah

[00:02:22] Ah lord 'n' now yeah

[00:02:28] I'm gonna push my way out of here

[00:02:32] Even though I can't say when

[00:02:35] But I'm gonna get off of

[00:02:37] This dead end street

[00:02:39] And I ain't never gonna come back again

[00:02:43] Never

[00:02:46] No no no

[00:02:52] Oh now lord

[00:02:55] Again now yeah

[00:03:00] I'm gonna push my way out of here

[00:03:04] Even though I can't say when

[00:03:07] But I'm gonna get off of

[00:03:09] This dead end street

[00:03:11] And I ain't gonna never come back again

[00:03:15] No no no

[00:03:17] I ain't gonna come back to

[00:03:18] This dead end street no more

[00:03:21] No

[00:03:22] 'Cause I'm gonna get me a job

[00:03:27] I'm gonna save my dough

[00:03:32] Get away from here

[00:03:35] I ain't gonna come back no more

[00:03:39] I'm tired of a dead end street

[00:03:44] I want to get out in the world

[00:03:46] And learn something

[00:03:47] Tired of breakin' my back

[00:03:51] I want to start usin' my mind
