Tracy Chapman - 3000 MilesLyrics

Good girls walk fast In groups of three Fast girls walk slow On side streets Sometimes the girls who walk alone Aren't found for days or weeks On the busy boulevards Bad boys call you names And cruise you hard Bullies laugh and grin and beat Your soft skin against The cold concrete [Chorus] I'm 3,000 miles away [Repeat: x4] Knock you down Make you bleed Make you cry And make you think I'll die here soon if I don't leave If I don't leave if I don't leave This patch of sky and native ground Take turns to push and pull you down Forget trying to live and be happy I'll take safe and terror free [Chorus] Hit the floor Shut off the lights As the bullets fly Terror rules the dark night Dogs hang from the trees Training ground for punks and thieves Home of poor white retirees Who didn't bail And couldn't sell When color made the grass less green [Chorus] Apples are filled with razor blades But fools and innocents believe That love and faith and truth and beauty Can make a garden of this human factory [Chorus] Bad girls run fast Leave home alone No trace or clue of where they've gone Sometimes these girls are never found Never found never found [Chorus]
