Young girl ‘pon a sidewalk
Silver cross upon a silver chain
She was born and raised in Coney Island
But she’ll never make it back that way again
Young boy upon a highway
Walk a mile to work a double shift
But on that long and lonely skyway
There’s a heavy fog that might never lift
Trouble’s been hard
Although I know that in that I ain’t alone
Young mom upon a bus seat
One child pulling on her dress
Another softly asking to be held
Heaven knows I need so much less
Trouble’s been hard
Although I know that in that I ain’t alone
Criminals along the river
Says one to one, “Be still
Can you see that figure on the levee?
And if the law don’t find us, Lord, the devil will.”
