16Th Avenue
By Lacy J. Dalton
 
G                                        D7             G
From the corners of the country from the cities and the farms
     Em                 C                G                D7
With years and years of living tucked up underneath their arms
      Em                C                G                C
They walked away from everything just to see a dream come true
       G                  Em                C   D7   G
So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Av-enue
 
                                   D7           G
With a million dollar spirit and an old flat top guitar
     Em                 C                 G              D7
They drive to town with all they own in a hundred dollar car
      Em               C                 G                       C
Cause one time someone told them about a friend of a friend they knew
    G               Em        C    D7  G
Who owns you know a studio on 16th Av-enue
 
                                D7               G
Now some are born to money they never had to say survive
    Em             C                 G             D7
And others swing a nine pound hammer just to stay alive
        Em                 C                 G                   C
There's cowboys drunks and Christians mostly white and black and blue
        G                    Em                  C    D7  G
They've all dialed the phone direct to home from 16th Av-enue
 
                                         D7                     G
Ah but then one night in some empty room where no curtains ever hung
       Em                  C          G                D7
Like a miracle some golden words roll off of someone's tongue
    Em                   C                   G                C
And after years of being nothing they're all looking right at you
    G                Em                     C    D7  G
And there for awhile they'll go in style on 16th Av-enue
 
                              D7        G
Hey it looks so uneventful so quiet and discreet
      Em                C                G                   D7
But a lot of lives were changed there on that little one-way street
      Em                    C                  G                C
Cause they walked away from everything just to see a dream come true
   G                      Em                C    D7  G
So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Av-enue
