The Wall Street Part of Town by Ry Cooder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm walkin' if it takes all night
Hopin' that we can make things right
And I'm lookin' for the Wall Street part of town

[Verse 2]
I'm standin' in the pouring rain
Trying to throw off my chains
And I'm looking for the Wall Street part of town

[Bridge]
I'm in trouble again but this time I'm not the only one
I was hurtin' before but this time I'm not a lonely one
Divide and rule, that's always been their plan
We're in trouble again but this time we've got friends

[Verse 3]
So I'll keep walkin' if it takes all night
A-hopin' we gonna make things right
I'm lookin' for the Wall Street part of town
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
They believed their evil deeds would never fail
They had you and me swinging by the tail
But look who's swinging now, what's that sound I hear?
A mighty wind whistling past their ears

[Verse 3]
So I keep walkin' if it takes all night
A-hoping we can make things right
I'm looking for the Wall Street part of town

[Verse 4]
I feel like shakin' a hand
I'm ready to take my stand
‘Cause I'm walkin' towards the Wall Street part of town
I'm looking for the Wall Street part of town
Don't you want to go with me now to the Wall Street part of town?
