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 They was dancing in the afternoons those days Waiting tables chasing girls with the money he made It was 1957 and love felt the same, love felt the same Frightened little girl, she makes it break Into the arms of something better, yeah Round here I hear my mama calling Kingsbury Park Just me and David 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't do better, yeah Round here So come with me Let me show you where I've lived I wanna put my hands in the soft again Music felt like rain to the streets A special zimmer 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 do have other plans Please, sir, you would not understand What's going on is magical, can't you see? Yeah, and some of us do more than dream Every time I try to leave this place But 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 wanna put my hands in the soft again Music felt like rain to the streets A special zimmer 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, to be somebody A beautiful, beautiful city This place I call my home This place I call my home I know everything and everybody I wanna thank you, thank you 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 Daddy got here on the gravy train
