The Streets Where I Belong
Annie, Annie, they're playing our song
And for a moment I'm transported to where I'm from
Teenage lovers, when we were young
All of the parties under the midnight sun
That's when I met the love of my life
He was a DJ and we danced all through the night
Tell me, tell me, why did you go?
I can still hear our songs on the radio
Whatever happened to us all?
Wherever I go, I'll recall
All those summer days
In our town down by the bay
Oh Annie, close your eyes, pretend
And then you're back there once again
As the sun begins to fade
And the band begins to play
I let the music take me home
To the streets where I belong
Johnny, Johnny, playing guitar
Travel the world, he always fell for the short-haired girls
Left a loner, came back a star
We used to see him playing live at the local bars
The saddest story was the woman next door
A beauty queen that met her end on a motel floor
She used to tell me, "Annie, don't stay
Go sing your songs, or if not you'll fade away"
Whatever happened to them all?
Wherever I go I'll recall
All those friends we made
In our town down by the bay
Oh Annie, close your eyes, pretend
And then you're back there once again
As the sound begins to fade
And the band begins to play
I let the music take me home
To the streets where I belong
Take it away, Johnny
Annie, Annie
Annie, Annie
Annie, Annie
And for a moment I'm transported to where I'm from
Teenage lovers, when we were young
All of the parties under the midnight sun
That's when I met the love of my life
He was a DJ and we danced all through the night
Tell me, tell me, why did you go?
I can still hear our songs on the radio
Whatever happened to us all?
Wherever I go, I'll recall
All those summer days
In our town down by the bay
Oh Annie, close your eyes, pretend
And then you're back there once again
As the sun begins to fade
And the band begins to play
I let the music take me home
To the streets where I belong
Johnny, Johnny, playing guitar
Travel the world, he always fell for the short-haired girls
Left a loner, came back a star
We used to see him playing live at the local bars
The saddest story was the woman next door
A beauty queen that met her end on a motel floor
She used to tell me, "Annie, don't stay
Go sing your songs, or if not you'll fade away"
Whatever happened to them all?
Wherever I go I'll recall
All those friends we made
In our town down by the bay
Oh Annie, close your eyes, pretend
And then you're back there once again
As the sound begins to fade
And the band begins to play
I let the music take me home
To the streets where I belong
Take it away, Johnny
Annie, Annie
Annie, Annie
Annie, Annie
