My daddy got here on the gravy train I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game They went walking and she took his name round here There was dancing in the afternoons those days Waiting tables chasing girls with the money he made It was 1957 but love felt the same, love felt the same Frightened little girl, she makes it break Into the arms of something better It's right here, round here I hear my mama calling Kingsbury Park Just me and baby and a football club in the dark Waiting patiently to make my mark round here And I remember my first day at school And I remember trouble thinking I was so cool I remember it all, oh yeah Like yesterday, don't you? Every time I try to leave this place But something inside says you can do better Yeah, yeah, round here So come with me Let me show you where I've lived I want to put my hands in the soft again Music felt like rain to the streets A special zilla jam to the beat Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world I gotta be thankful that this crowded space Is the place of my birth All that I wanted was to be someone, someone Two little hitlers in an old church hall Some cheesy covers and those neighbors that banged on the walls And he says it's time to show them all round here Please sir, we two have other plans Please sir, you would not understand What's going on is magical, can't you see? Yeah, that some of us do more than dream Every time I try to leave this place Something inside says keep on keeping on and on and on and on around here So come with me Let me show you where I've lived I want to put my hands in the soft again Music felt like rain to the streets A special zilla jam to the beat Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world I gotta be thankful that this crowded space Is the place of my birth My birth In this town Yes, I guess I got to be someone Yeah, tell me somebody A beautiful, beautiful city This place I call my home This place I call my home Yes, everything I know Everything and everybody I wanna thank you Thank you Yes, I wanna thank you Thank you Daddy got here on the gravy train Daddy got here on the gravy train Daddy got here on the gravy train
