crosstown

crosstown

under the freeway

late at night

crosstown

over the river shining bright

i reach my destination and i find her arms waiting to hold me

her love is mine

she lives high on the hillside

ain't no shack

she's got anything she wants

she don't lack

daddy calls her his precious but he would die

if he knew what his darling daughter did on the sly

and when we can't be together i call my imagination

takes me over the water

crosstown is around the world

now i'm working the night shift every night

and i'm doing the day shift none too bright

but i'm keeping my head down

doing time

'cause i'm working to make her

working to make her mine

and when we can't be together i call my imagination

takes me over the water

crosstown is around the world
