One Way Street Songtext
von Mink DeVille

All the forces, putting me down
I know what this way went, I ain′t around
He can't make it, he′ll have to sake it
Momma, why you leave me here?

I can't survive on a one way street
I'm moving in a midnight, one way street
Ain′t no place to hide now, one way street
And I don′t wanna die on one way street

All the girls in my neighborhood
They smoke cigars and it's understood
They wanna make you, they wanna break you
Now Momma, why did you leave me here?

I can′t survive on a one way street
I'm moving in a midnight one way street
Ain′t no place to hide one way street
And I don't wanna die on one way street (oh)


I can′t survive on a one way street
I'm moving in a midnight one way street
Ain't no place to hide now one way street
Lord, I can′t survive in a one way street

Now when I wake up in the nighttime
I got tough
Get ready, you′ll soon be late
Meet around
Meet around on the corner

I can't survive on a one way street
I′m moving in a midnight one way street
Ain't no place to hide one way street
Lord, I don′t wanna die on one way street

I'm talkin′ 'bout the midnight one way street
Yes, I'm talking ′bout the midnight one way street
I can′t break away one way street
And I'm standing on the corner, of one way street

Tommy got me going, on one way street
Tommy got me going, one way street
Ah, come on, boy, one way street
Talking ′bout the midnight one way street


There ain't no place to hide on one way street
Lord, I can′t survive on a one way street
We moving in a midnight one way street
Yeah, talking 'bout the midnight one way street
