TENDERNESS ON THE BLOCK (Jackson Browne / Warren Zevon)
Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight She's trying to run before she can walk - that's right She's growing up She's got a young man waiting She's growing up She's got a young man waiting She's got wide eyes She'll be street-wise To the lies And the jive talk But she'll find true love And tenderness on the block
Now Daddy, don't you ask her when she's coming home And when she's back don't ask her where she's been, no no She's going out She's got a young man waiting She's going out She's got a young man waiting She'll be okay Let her have her way 'Cause it's a long way It's a long walk But she'll find true love And tenderness on the block
I know how much it hurts to see her go But she's got a mind of her own, you know She's all grown up She's got a young man waiting She's all grown up and got a young man waiting She was wide-eyed Now she's street-wise To the lies And the jive talk But she'll find true love And tenderness on the block Yes she's going to find true love And tenderness on the block
