Lyrics:
from the corners of the countryfrom the cities and the farms with years and years of living tucked up underneath their arms they walked away from everything just to see a dream come trueso god bless the boys who make the noise on 16th avenue with a million dollar spirit and an old flattop guitarthey drive to town with all they own in a hundred dollar carcause one time someone told them about a friend of a friend they knewwho owns you know a studio on 16th avenue now some were born to moneythey've never had to say 'survive'and others swing a 9 pound hammer just to stay alivethere's cowboys drunks and christians mostly white and black and blue they've all dialed the phone collect to home from 16th avenue ah, but one night in some empty room where no curtains ever hung like a miracle some golden wordsrolled off of someone's tongue and after years of being nothing they're all looking rigt at you and for a while they'll go in style on 16th avenueit looked so uneventful so quiet and discreet but a lot of lives where changed down in that little one way street cause they walk away from everything just to see a deam come true so god bless the boys who make the noiseon 16t avenue
