letters to 12th street - angel gabriel flores lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was born in a house off of 12th street
where the pain chipped off like memories
mama hummed her favorite hymn
while we played ball with the neighbor kids
and we’d chase down the ice cream trucks
like the world was ours, was just dumb*luck struck
me and my brothers, our dirty feet
hearts too big for a house that beat

[pre*chorus]
but nights would fall, and the air got thick
his whiskey breath, and the swinging fists
mama’d cry, but she wouldn’t leave
said, “boys, one day you’ll be set free”

[chorus]
and i write letters to 12th street
to the ghosts and thе god*awful things
to the way my mama held us tight
when thе thunder rolled and the fists would fly
to the brothers that made me believe
there’s still light in a world that will watch you bleed
yeah, i write letters to 12th street
where the good and the bad both live in me
