Lacy J. Dalton - 16th Avenue lyrics
From the corners of the country
 From 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 true
 So god bless the boys who make the noise
 On 16th Avenue
 With a million dollar spirit
 And an old flattop guitar
 They drive to town with all they own
 In a hundred dollar car
 'Cause one time someone told them
 About a friend of a friend they knew
 Who owns you know a studio
 On 16th Avenue
 Now some were born to money
 They've never had to say, "Survive"
 And others swing a 9 pound hammer
 Just to stay alive
 There's cowboys drunks and Christians
 Mostly white and black and blue
 They've all dialed the phone collect to home
 From 16th AvenueLacy J. Dalton - 16th Avenue - http://motolyrics.com/lacy-j-dalton/16th-avenue-lyrics.html
 Ah, but one night in some empty room
 Where no curtains ever hung
 Like a miracle some golden words
 Rolled off of someone's tongue
 And after years of being nothing
 They're all looking right at you
 And for a while they'll go in style
 On 16th Avenue
 It 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 dream come true
 So God bless the boys who make the noise
 On 16th Avenue
 From the corners of the country
 From 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 true
 So God bless the boys who make the noise
