Lyrics
Old man sits on the corner
A mug of coffee in his hand
His woman’s over by the hydrant
Rinsing the pots and pans
He calls out, “Hey baby you’re a beautiful thing
Come here, sit with me and have a good drink
We’ll watch the hipsters stroll on by
Down here at Rose Avenue and Main Street”
Rose Avenue and Main Street
Right by the CVS
Rose Avenue and Main Street
That’s where we live
That’s the neighborhood kid with a wife beater on
Got a skate in his hand
He kisses his mom and walks away
He’s headed for the strand
She calls out, “Hey baby you forgot to eat
Come here sit with me and let me feed you”
He says, “Mom i’m late, late for my escape
From Rose Avenue and Main Street”
Rose Avenue and Main Street
Right by the CVS
Rose Avenue and Main Street
That’s where we live
That’s my old dog lying under the tree
Trying to beat the heat
You can always smell the Mary Jane
Down here at Rose Avenue and Main Street
Rose Avenue and Main Street
Right by the CVS
Rose Avenue and Main Street
That’s where we live
