Tha Blue Carpet Treatment - Round Here

My daddy got here on the gravy train
I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game
They went walking and she took his name
Round here

There was dancing in the afternoons those days
Waiting tables chasing girls with the money he made
It was 1957 and love felt the same love felt the same

Frightened little girl she makes a break
Into the arms of... something better
Round here

I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park
Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark
Waiting patiently to make my mark
Round here
And I remember my first day at school
And I remember trouble and thinking I was so cool
I remember it all like yesterday

Dont you

Every time I try to leave this place
Something inside says "You can do better"
Round here

So come with me let me show you where Ive lived
I want to put my hands in this earth again
Music fell like rain to the streets
The Specials and The Jam to The Beat
Even though I think Ive seen everything there is to see of this world
I gotta be thankful that this crowded space
Is the place of my birth
