6th Avenue Heartache - Sara Evans

Sirens ring, the shots ring out

A stranger cries, screams out loud

I had my world strapped against my back

I held my hands, never knew how to act

Chorus:

And the same black line that was drawn on you

Was drawn on me

And now it’s drawin' me in

6th Avenue heartache

Below me was a homeless man

I’m singin' songs I knew complete

On the steps alone, his guitar in hand

It’s fifty years, stood where he stands

Now walkin' home on those streets

The river winds move my feet

Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams

They stood by me, just like moonbeams

Look out the window, down upon that street

And gone like a midnight was that man

But I see his six strings laid against that wall

And all his things, they all look so small

I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star

Just like me-just moved on
