(R. Hall, E. King, G. Rossington)
|
I snuck around the corner he had this guy down
|
I through the first punch that's when he hit the ground
|
To survive in the street you gotta win the first round
|
'Cause if you want eat you gotta be the baddest one around
|
I'm a backstreet crawler
|
|
Daddy paid for college I earned a degree
|
Got a job up on Wall Street
|
Where I learned to make the little man bleed
|
That's when I got stomped like a cattle stampede
|
Had a nervous breakdown all my friends and family left me
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
|
When you see them on the concrete it's their spirit that's harder
|
Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
|
Where your ego meets defeat and your pride can't get no smaller
|
Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
|
Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
|
|
I guess you might say it sure is a shame
|
I used to have everything oh how my life has changed
|
Yeah I'm broken and torn I've never been free
|
Lost everything that meant a thing to me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
