Lynyrd Skynyrd :: :: Backstreet crawler




  
   I snuck around the corner he had this guy down
  I through the first punch that's when he hit the ground
  To survive in the street you gotta win the first round
  'Cause if you want eat you gotta be the baddest one around
  I'm a backstreet crawler
  
  Daddy paid for college I earned a degree
  Got a job up on Wall Street
  Where I learned to make the little man bleed
  That's when I got stomped like a cattle stampede
  Had a nervous breakdown all my friends and family left me
  
  (chorus)
  Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
  When you see them on the concrete it's their spirit that's harder
  Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
  Where your ego meets defeat and your pride can't get no smaller
  Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
  Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
  
  I guess you might say it sure is a shame
  I used to have everything oh how my life has changed
  Yeah I'm broken and torn I've never been free
  Lost everything that meant a thing to me
  
  (repeat chorus)
