At the end of the bus line near the beltway in west Baltimore There's a place they call Paradise And it was the end of the line for some good ole friends of mine Yeah their lives rolled just like a pair of dice Now we all lived in row homes with tidy gardens and small backyards And windows full of hungry eyes Born to run we drove around up and down the same ole town Yeah we never did get too far from Paradise Once we were chasin' something and now something's chasin' us Still we run through the night I may travel far and wide but I promise I will never leave my friends behind Down in Paradise We sat on the hoods of our cars and I sang and I played my guitar And we looked into the young girls eyes We drank our beer every Saturday night and sometimes there'd be a fight And the cops they'd chase us all through Paradise Now my ole pals they were so crazy but true Yeah they would drive all night for you And their friendship it never had a price And now some of us we're feeling stuck We got too many bills we got too little luck Yeah we wonder why it's called Paradise Once we were chasin' something and now something's chasin' us Still we run through the night I may travel far and wide but I promise I will never leave my friends behind Like Billy D who smiled and Penny who ran wild And Koch who played guitar and Stepp who went too far There was Connolly who was cool and Jack who sang the blues And Donnie who we lost on the road I put my guitar on my shoulder and rolled on down the road Hitting the curbs just like a pair of dice And I made friends in every town oh but I never settled down Cause there's only one place I call Paradise Once we were chasin' something and now something's chasin' us Still we run through the night I may travel far and wide but I promise I will never leave my friends behind Down in Paradise
