Oh 49th I'm coming back to you The rest proved to be too much, it's true You're everything I've ever known The sweetest place to call my own Jones holds the secrets though there's some that I don't know I can't tell like Isabel, in the heat the summer swells Congress won't adjourn 'till 3 am Block the driveway with the car Bonfire in a shopping cart Police are not too far Now is the time And man I feel alright I know it's not too late I hope it's not too late On 49th a lady slept In Carolina the day she left They've since painted that door red Packed up and found a new place instead Live your life and make it last My boy told me 'fore he crashed Brushed it off but almost pa**ed Bought a car next week in cash Headed to the Southside With a blue sky I decide Nowhere better, time provides Memories that stay alive With a victory there's history And I'm pacin' down unpaved streets The sweet the warm the mystery Bourbon's playing with my patience Now is the time And man I feel alright I know it's not too late I hope it's not too late I know it's not too late I hope it's not too late I know it's not too late I hope it's not too late
