lyrics

IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD
written by john common

Mary loved Tony for 70 years
On the day that he died, no tears
He saw it comin', she saw it too
When it hurts that bad, cryin' won’t help you

In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

Michael and Michelle were always in a fight
I could hear them yellin' through the window every night
But Michael found a job and they bought a little house
Nobody was fightin' on the day they moved out

In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

Ramon and his family live across the street
He cooks at three restaurants to make ends meet
Says he always dreamed of runnin' his own place
I bet he's gonna do it, I can see it on his face

In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

Pretty blonde lady about fourty-four
Decided that she could not wait any more
Her new dream man isn't tall, dark or handsome
But she knows when she needs him, he's gonna answer

Me on my porch, dreamin' up songs
Smoking, drinkin' coffee all day long
Everybody wonders will he get a real job
Maybe I will, when I finish this song

In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

The way it actually happens, why it happens, the little details that break off as it’s happening. ... more
