Ry Cooder - The Wall Street Part of Town Lyrics

I’m walkin’ if it takes all night
Hopin’ that we can make things right
And I’m lookin’ for the Wall Street part of town

I’m standin’ in the pourin’ rain
Tryin’ to throw off my chains
And I’m lookin’ for the Wall Street part of town

I’m in trouble again but this time I’m not the only one
I was hurtin’ before but this time I’m not a lonely one
Divide and rule, that’s always been their plan
We’re in trouble again but this time we’ve got friends

So I’ll keep walkin’ if it takes all night
A-hopin’ we gonna make things right
I’m lookin’ for the Wall Street part of town

They believe that evil deeds would never fail
They had a-you and me swinging by the tail
But look who’s swinging now, what’s that sound I hear
A mighty wind whistling past their ears

So I keep walkin’ if it takes all night
A-hopin’ we can make things right
I’m lookin’ for the Wall Street part of town

I feel like shakin’ a hand
I’m a-ready to take my stand
‘Cause I’m walkin’ towards the Wall Street part of town
I’m lookin’ for the Wall Street part of town
Don’t you want to go with me now to the Wall Street part of town?
