Down in Oakland Songtext
von Transplants

This song goes out to a good friend of mine
Who lives life in the forest
Yeah, every single day

Down in Oakland
I′m gonna find them
I'm gonna get them
I′ll go rewind them
You cannot hide them
I will go find them
Down in Oakland
It's such a scene, man

With a hard-boiled drunken bounty
He's got seven teeth left in his head, yeah
He works the docks in the day
At night he walks with the dead
And this lady comes over to him
She wants to take him for a ride
She says, "In this dirty old town
There′s no place to hide"


Time gonna wear you down
When you got nowhere to go
Or you cannot move around
When you′re stuck in a blizzard of snow, yeah
You wear your wrongs and your rights
And you choose what's gonna be inside
You sit in this dirty old town
There′s no place to hide

Down in Oakland
I'm gonna find them
I′m gonna get them
I'll go rewind them
You cannot hide them
I will go find them
Down in Oakland
It′s such a scene, man

Hey, where am I?
Yeah

Down in Oakland
I'm gonna find them
I'm gonna get them
I′ll go rewind them
You cannot hide them
I will go find them
Down in Oakland
It′s such a scene, man
