One Way Street Songtext
von Level 10

Oh yeah

Tommy was a young boy when he lived next to me
His life was in danger on the day he left the scene
They say he looked scared
Looked like he′d been played the fool
His sweet Ginger told me he went and broke that golden rule, yeah
Broke that golden rule

One day he's in heaven, the next day cold as hell
They say he was a gambler
You took your chance, he′d ring your bell
Yeah, Tommy was a rocker, he answered the call
On the day they tried to punch his ticket
He was still standing tall

He couldn't hide his trace
He couldn't win the race


Rising up, feel the heat
Nothing′s easy on this one way street
You′re running hot but you can't compete
′Cause nothing's easy on this one way street
On this one way street

Late one night with a gun in his hand
He tried to take flight
He tried to escape to a foreign land
He couldn′t keep the pace
He didn't win the race

Rising up, feel the heat
Nothing′s easy on this one way street
You're running hot but you can't compete
′Cause nothing′s easy on this one way street

Where you going Tommy?
One way street, yeah
One way, one way
There's only one way down that street
Boy, where you gonna run to?
It′s a dead end
It's a dead end
You know it′s just a dead end street, yeah


Rising up, feel the heat
Nothing's easy on this one way street
You′re running hot but you can't compete
'Cause nothing′s easy, no
Rising up, feel the heat
Nothing′s easy on this one way street
You're running hot but you can′t compete
'Cause nothing′s easy on this one way street

One way street
