Gene Grimaldi - Down In Oakland lyrics

This song goes out to a good friend of mine He lives life to the fullest, (yeah) every single day Down in Oakland I'm gonna find them I'm gonna get them I'll go rewind them You can not hide them I will go find them Oh down in Oakland It's such a scene, man With a hard boy drunken Ballentine He's got 7 teeth left in his head, yea He works at docks in the day At night he walks with the dead And this lady comes over to him She wants to take him for a ride She said, "This dirty old town got no place a hide" Time going away in town And you got nowhere to go Oh you cannot move around When your stuck in a blizzard snow You wear your wrongs and your rights And you choose what's gonna be a sight She said, "In this dirty old town there's no place a hide" Down in Oakland I'm gonna find them I'm gonna get them I'll go rewind them You can not hide them I will go find them Oh down in Oakland It's such a scene, man "Hey, where am I?" Down in Oakland I'm gonna find them I'm gonna get them I'll go rewind them You can not hide them I will go find them Oh down in Oakland It's such a scene, man
