Louisville Avenue
We’re living in a great divide
Up and down Louisville
No where to run or hide
And I know it’s not easy
When for others you’re trying to provide
I can not seem to get much further
Guessing whom to give what to
Hoping I bother no other
A dollar here and a dollar there
Says they won’t stop or stare
Do you see this great divide
Up and down Louisville
Just no where to run or hide
We’re living in such a great divide
Out the window of this bus
I ride
Never going to stop to slide
You’re starving
And I’m just alive
Living in this great divide
One side of the city’s playing up
The other side’s a falling kingdom
There’s a daiquiri store
A beat down place to dwell
When did paradise become such a hell
Don’t you want to see the sun
Out in a moon lit open
Just no where to run
But don’t you want to see the sun
Make it home to the love of a mom
Just to be a child
And say there’s nothing wrong
