1st Avenue

​

When she came to the city

She thought she'd live real freely

Finding strangers to stay with

 Stealing apples to eat

She read about it in the sixties

 When they were playing in Washington Square

 

She read about it for a while

Saying I really don’t care

 

What you want me to be or what you want me to do

I am free, living high I just want a pretty life

 

She didn’t leave much behind, no

Leaving was the only thing on her mind

She grabbed her bags and her saved up cash

Feeling wings of freedom on her back

She read about it in a book somewhere

Life on the fast track

 

She read about it for a while

Saying I really don’t care

 

What you want me to be or what you want me to do

I am free, living high I just want a pretty life

 

Yeah yeah ooh ooh in her own world on 1st Avenue

Yeah yeah ooh ooh in my own world on 1st Avenue

 

I was living there once too on 1st Avenue
