Lyrics:

I was born down in the backstreet a mighty long time ago
I didn't learn too well at school and my daddy he told me so
I became a musician so you can see that I'm standing here
But all the things that I do for you is making this life very clear
Hey down in the backstreet

So if you're born down in the backstreet you've got a mighty bad time
But I've been telling you people that I've been somewhere down the line
But I became a musician so you can see that I'm standing here
All the things I do for you is making this life very clear
Hey down in the backstreet

So if you're born down in the backstreet you've got a mighty bad time
I've been telling you people that I've been there somewhere down the line
I became a musician so you can see I'm standing here
All the things that I do for you is making this life very clear
Hey down in the backstreet
