Last Tango on 16th Street Boz Scaggs

[Verse 1]
Selling late night transfers, try to make a play
The people with the answers don't often pass this way
Starting from Dolores all the way to Treat
It's the last tango on 16th Street

[Verse 2]
The later that it gets, the meaner that it looks
There's a lot to learn out here not found in books
We gotta solve the winter rain, watch out for the heat
When it's the last tango on 16th Street

[Verse 3]
Same old people begging quarters, stretching out their hands
Vendors selling flores from a plastic can
Some are poor but honest, others lie and cheat
Well, it's the last tango on 16th Street

[Verse 4]
All the homeless helpless need a place to stay
Asking you for spare change, don't know what to say
Gypsy plays a melody, a broken tooth, just smile so sweet
At the last tango on 16th Street

[Verse 5]
Same old song, I know you heard it many times before
Why this life in poverty seems so much like a war
Just make sure you're careful where you place your feet
When it's the last tango on 16th Street
