Fannin Street - text
There's a crooked street in Houston town
it's a well worn path I've followed down
now there's ruin in my name
I wish I never got off the train
I wished I'd listened to the words you said
it's a well worn path I've followed down
now there's ruin in my name
I wish I never got off the train
I wished I'd listened to the words you said
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
oh yeah
you'll be lost and never found
you can never turn around
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
oh yeah
you'll be lost and never found
you can never turn around
don't go down to Fannin Street
once I held you in my arms I was sure
till I took that silent step through the gilded door
but the desire to have much more all the glitter and the roar
now I know that this is where the sidewalk ends
till I took that silent step through the gilded door
but the desire to have much more all the glitter and the roar
now I know that this is where the sidewalk ends
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
you'll be lost and never found
you can never turn around
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
you'll be lost and never found
you can never turn around
don't go down to Fannin Street
when I was young I thought only of getting out
I said good-bye to my street
good-bye to my house
give a man gin give a man cards
give an inch he takes a yard
and I rue the day that I stepped off this train
I said good-bye to my street
good-bye to my house
give a man gin give a man cards
give an inch he takes a yard
and I rue the day that I stepped off this train
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
oh yeah
you'll be lost and never found
you can never turn around
don't go down to Fannin Street
don't go down to Fannin Street
oh yeah
you'll be lost and never found
you can never turn around
