I got the highest heels on the street
C F
but they don't get me high as I wanna be
C F
I was born in summer sound
Dm F C
And that was when all new york city held its breath
G
we were scared to death
C F
a regular boy in a Reagan time
C F
with my BB gun and satellite
C F
and boy did I want my MTV
Dm
and everything was easy
F C G
so easy it was easy
G C F C
my oh my oh my we had promises too keep
G C
And my oh my oh my
F C
many miles to get to union street
G F
if we could just get to union street everything would be allright
C F
You were the prettiest girl in town
C F
but your mom was a druggy, she kicked you around
C F
and everyone knew the word on the street
Dm F
They knew she was easy, so easy
C
your mom was easy
(quiet)
C F
so meet me there in the parking lot
C F
in a part of town that jesus forgot
C F
and bring those pills you stole from your mom
Dm F C G
Baby, we'll be here, we'll be here and we'll be gone, we'll be long gone
C F C
my oh my oh my..... we had promises too keep
G C

F C
can you tell me the way to get to Union street
G
if we could just get to Union street
C F C

G C

F C
A merry house down on Union Street
G
if we can just get to Union street
C

G C
and nobody gets out alive
F C
but just as long as we got rock and roll
G
then everything will be allright
