Lyrics:

I live my life in Midtown
It's halfway 'tween here and there, oh, yeah
I spend my time in Midtown
Tryin' hard to really care
Cheap intoxicated showdown

Cardboard corrugated dreams, oh, yeah
Brother's givin' you the lowdown
He says, he don't fit into their schemes
So what's the use of keeping clean

In Midtown, I like to call it home
It's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black
Where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb
It's a long, long way to fall

You see 'em hangin' in the doorways
They're peerin' out with neon eyes
They're lookin' at ya
Someone's hangin' in the hallway
Habit's hard to subsidize
Well, it comes as no surprise

In Midtown, I like to call it home
It's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black
Where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb
It's a long, long way to fall
In Midtown

I pray to God in Midtown
Semi-automatic faith, oh, Lord, yeah
He'll be hangin' out in Midtown
He'll be tryin' to find a trace
Pickin' through the human waste
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In Midtown, I like to call it home
It's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black
Where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb
It's a long, long way to fall

In Midtown, I like to call it home
It's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black
Where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb
It's a long, long way to fall
In Midtown

In Midtown, whoa, yeah
In Midtown, oh, yeah
Where there ain't no black
Where there ain't no white
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
In Midtown
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, in Midtown
Where there ain't no black
Where there ain't no white
My Lord, down in Midtown
Oh, yeah
