Fannin Street Lyrics

Scarlett Johansson - Fannin Street

There's a crooked street in Houston town,

It's a well born path I've traveled down

Now there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train,

I wished I'd listened to the words you said.

Don't go down to Fannin Street

You'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Once I held you in my arms, I was sure

But I took that silent stare through the guilded door

The desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar,

I know this is where the sidewalk ends.

When I was young I thought only of getting out

I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house

Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard,

And I rue the day that I stepped off this train.

Don't go down to Fannin Street.
