They say this is a big rich town
But I live in the poorest part
I know I'm on a dead end street
In a city without a heart
I learned to sing before I was six
The only way I could get along
When you're raise on a dead end street
Your mind's gotta be mighty strong

Many folks I know getting in trouble
(Many folks I know getting in trouble)
That's how it's always been
When the odds all are against you
(When the odds all are against you)

How can you win?
(I'm tired of this dead end street)
I'm so tired
(I'm tired of this dead end street)
Of this dead end street
(I'm tired of this dead end street)
So tired

Gonna push way out of here
Even though, I can't say when
I gonna get out of this dead end street
And I ain't come back again

(I'm tired of this dead end street)
Oh, I'm so tired
(I'm tired of this dead end street)
Of this dead end street
(I'm tired of this dead end street)
I'm so tired
(I'm tired of this dead end street)
Oh
