Dion - Midtown American Main Street Gang lyrics

Through nights of irresponsibility
And a lack of self-control
I feared the friends around me
But, I loved top live the roll

Five of us in Levi's jeans
Who passed on the basketball
We all lived on Presley's 45s and
Were beckoned to the call
Every night was Halloween when they
Picked me up at eight
We raced the moon to madness
Before midnight made our fate

Drinking beer and smoking
Burned-Out butts 'till
The Camels killed our lungs
The liquor sent us spinning out and
Brought a thickness to our tongues yeah
Roamin' in the halls rackin' up the balls
Climbin' up the walls
Don't you hear the calls

Looking for a place to hang
The Midtown American Main Street Gang

An afternoon of boredom was cured by
A quarter and a cue
Stealing things from a countertop
There was nothing else to do

Bobby knocked up Sherry
We ushered him out one day
And Dave and Johhny took the buddy system
And they went the Army way
Two stolen cars took Larry
He got three to five for each

I came to grips with growing up but
It's still too far to reach
The memory's old and the story's told in
All the songs that Presley sang
Are you putting me on, is the DA gone
Like the Midtown American Main Street Gang

Roamin' in the halls rackin' up the balls
Climbin' up the walls
Don't you hear the calls

Looking for a place to hang
The Midtown American Main Street Gang

Yeah roamin' in the halls
Rackin' up the balls climbin' up the walls
Don't you hear the calls

Now looking for a place to hang
Midtown American Mainstreet gang
