Avenues - Lyrics - Whiskeytown
Whiskeytown was an alternative country band formed in 1994 from Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Fronted by Ryan Adams, the group included members Caitlin Cary, Phil Wandscher, Eric "Skillet" Gilmore, and Mike Daly. They disbanded in 2000 with Adams leaving to pursue his solo career. Whiskeytown gradually expanded its sound outside the confines of alternative country while still maintaining its alternative roots.

No the cops here they can't run down to your house
Sometimes, I sit and wish i were somewhere else
So lets damn the daylights for us sweethearts that we are
Sometimes I find myself still lying in your arms
All the sweethearts of the world
Are out dancing in the places where me and all my friends
Go to hide our faces
Avenues run one way
Streets they run the same
Something in the air here still keeps me away
No the cops here they can't take me to your house
I get directions and pretend I was somewhere else
All the sweethearts of the world are out littering the bars
And I am still avenues from any place you are
You know avenues run one way
Streets they run the same
Its gonna take a lot of *** for me
To stay away
