Chris Rea Maxwell Street
Will you tell me mister
How did I end up here?
Oh, won't you tell me mister
How did I end up here?
I got a dollar for my trouble
And nothing for may fear
Oh, won't you tell me mister preacher
How did I end up this way?
Oh, won't you tell me mister preacher
How did I end up this way?
So cold and hungry down on Maxwell
And the blues tear came to stay
Well they told me I remember
This new life would be so cool
Oh, they told me I remember
This new life would be so cool
Now I'm standing here on Maxwell
Feeling like the biggest fool
Oh, my cousin caught the Greyhound
And my best friend jumped a train
Yeah, my cousin caught the Greyhound
Yeah, my best friend jumped a train
Now if I ever pull a big one
Maxwell won't see my face again
Oh maxwell
If I ever pull a big one
No you won't see my face again
