Lyrics:
From the corners of the country, From the cities and the farms, With years and years of living Tucked up underneath their arms. They walk away from everything, Just to see a dream come true, So God bless the boys who make the noise On 16th Avenue. With a million dollar spirit And an old flattop guitar, They drive to town with all they own In a hundred dollar car Cause one time someone told them, About a friend of a friend they knew Who owns, you know, a studio On 16th Avenue. Now some were born to money, They've never had to say, " Survive" And others swing a 9 pound hammer Just to stay alive. There's cowboys drunks and Christians Mostly white and black and blue They've all dialed the phone collect to home From 16th Avenue. Ah, but the one night in some empty room, Where no curtains ever hung, Like a miracle some golden words Rolled off of someone's tongue And after years of being nothing, They're all looking right at you, And for a while they'll go in style On 16th Avenue. It looked so uneventful, So quiet and discreet, But a lot of lives where changed Down on that little one way street. Cause they walk away from everything, Just to see a dream come true, So God Bless the boys who make the noise On 16th Avenue.
