16TH AVENUELACY. J. DALTON
G Em D GFrom the corners of the country, from the cities and the farms Em C G D With years and years of livin', 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.
G Em D GWith a million dollar spirit and an old flat top guitar, Em C G D 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 Avenue.
G Em D GNow some are born to money they never had to say survive, Em C G D 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 Avenue.
G Em D GAh but then one night in some empty room where no curtains ever hung, Em C G D 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 lookin' right at you,G Em C D7 G And they for awhile they'll go in style on 16th Avenue.
G Em D GHey it looks so uneventful, so quiet and discreet, Em C G D 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 Avenue
