Sitting on the corner singing songs as pretty people pass me by
Janet smokes a cigarette while Pam's in front of me she's getting high
Singing songs about wagon wheels and country roads won't you please take me home
But it pays to be a loner because these songs they have the power to take you home

And I cannot sing these songs in the suburbs and it's not the same if nobody is there
I can only sing these songs on the sixteenth street mall
Where your songs can float and mingle with the air

Trying to make a buck or two so I can move along get on my way
Maybe I'll buy cigarettes or breakfast at the Mercury Cafe
People in white collars they can't hear my songs they only hear the phone
That's why the songs I sing roll off their suits and in the ears of homeless hungry Joe

And I cannot sing these songs in the suburbs and it's not the same if nobody is there
I can only sing these songs on the sixteenth street mall
Where your songs can float and mingle with the air

Reefer is the devil but the violence happens where the earth is still
You try to retreat from the hustle but you find yourself on top of stoner hill

You can try to get away from the street fights
In the grass where city people mow the lawn
You can gaze out at the mountains or the city lights
It's a place where nearly everyone belongs

It's a place where I don't need to find a woman
I only need these nylon guitar strings
You can find the peace and comfort of the city
A feeling that your hometown couldn't bring

People throw away their stogies like I throw away the tunes on this guitar
But each stogie tells a story about your brother and exactly who we are

And I cannot sing these songs in the suburbs and it's not the same if nobody is there
I can only sing these songs on the sixteenth street mall
Where your songs can float and mingle with the air
