Lyrics

?Backstreets?
Words and music by Todd Henderson

G F#D Em C
If I had a dollar I could spend on you. I?d buy a stamp or
Am F#D G
Two, and send my feelin?s through the U. S. mail.
F#D Em
But a pen and write a letter and say I might have done
C Am D G
Better, and been worthy of a love like yours that?s true.

Chorus:
C D G C
With my hands wrapped around this old tin can. I was born
D G C
and I have lived a worthless man. But still I wonder where
D D#dim Em C D
you are, In the dead of night on the backstreets of the city
G
out of sight.
G F#D Emin
She said if I had a bottle I wouldn?t feel so blue, and I
C A D
Might not think of you, and I know that you must have a
G F#D Em
good life, away from streets so cold and bitter, but your
Am D G
memory does comfort me sometimes.

Chorus>>>
G F#D Em
The young child from these cold and lonely people, Got
C Am F#D
Tossed around for awhile, no one could understand this
G F#D Em
Callous child. He thought about the folks they say he had
Am D G
And said I?d really like to hold you mom or Dad!

Chorus>>>
