Lyrics
Rose Street
I try to keep up with what?s goin? down on Rose Street
?Cause that?s my favorite old stompin? ground, talkin? ?bout Rose Street
No matter how far I roam, I always find my way back home
To the place I love and the people I meet down on Rose Street
Old Mrs. Murphy waters the roses
waiting for a call from her son
They haven?t spoken in 20 some years
but when the phone rings watch her run
And right next door you can hear the cry
of a beautiful baby girl
Mom and dad are trying so hard
to give her all the world
CHORUS
Vinnie?s workin? hard under the hood
of a souped up GTO
Trying to make it faster,
faster than he?ll ever go
And further down the street there?s a businessman
burning the midnight oil
He?s got no time for having fun,
or finding real nice girl
All these people livin? on the same street
with different plans and dreams
They have one thing in common, they?re all searching
for happiness and peace
CHORUS
