Boulevard Lyrics

Title: Boulevard (3:21)

Artist: Jackson Browne

Album: Hold Out (1980)

Down on the boulevard they take it hard

They look at life with such disregard.

They say it can't be won

The way the game is run

But if you choose to stay

You wind up playing anyway

It's OK

You know the kid's in shock

up and down the block

The folks are home

playing beat the clock

Down at the Golden Cup

They set the young ones up

Under the neon lights

Selling day for night

It's alright

Nobody rides for free

Nobody gets it like they want it to be

Nobody hands you any guarantee

Nobody.

The hearts are hard

and the times are tough

Down on the boulevard

the night's enough

Time passes slow between the

storefronts' shadows

and the streetlights glow

Everybody walks right by

like they're safe or something

They don't know

Nobody knows you

Nobody owes you nothing

Nobody shows you what they're thinking

Nobody

Hey hey baby

Gotta watch the street

keep your feet and be on guard.

Make it pay baby

It's only time on the boulevard.

On the boulevard

On the boulevard

It's only time on the boulevard.
