Fifth Street – Craig K. West
[Verse 1]
C C aug
Autumn air I was seventeen
Am G F
out late at night in a bowling alley parking lot
G
I should have left long ago
C C aug
When a redheaded girl with double pierced ears
Am G
Who wouldn’t break my heart for another couple of years
F G
Was begging me to stay out and then take her home
F
But when I dropped her off on the wrong side of town
G
I heard my mother’s words in my head
[Chorus]
C E
Fifth street will get you home son,
Am G F
then the river will get you home
C Am
You’ve got a lot to learn before you take that turn
C G C
Fifth street will get you home
[Verse 1]
C C aug
Six years later with a college degree
Am G F
I moved away to start a family of my own
G
The future was at my feet
C C aug
Driving back home at Christmas time
Am G
Through the snow covered Hudson river valley drive
F G
Down seventy one, past Cleveland, Columbus, and then
F
I’d smile at the exit that I knew so well
G
And I heard these words in my head
[Chorus]
C E
Fifth street will get you home son,
Am G F
then the river will get you home
C Am
You’ve got a lot to learn before you take that turn
C G C
Fifth street will get you home
Bridge
Am G C
This city won’t take you as a prisoner
F G
These streets won’t tie you down or fence you in
C C aug Am G F
But this road will show the way if you’re lost, you can’t get home
F G
This city lifts you up and makes you whole
[Verse 3]
C C aug
A few years later and I’m back in town
Am G
A part time dad with no wife around
F C G
Driving late at night to see a friend once her kids are asleep
C C aug
The drive so familiar like a lingering song
Am G
The comforting road just eases me along
F G C
Saying welcome back, we missed you, everything is alright
F G
The lights shine off the river everything’s calm, then I hear those
words
[Chorus]
C E
Fifth street will get you home son,
Am G F
then the river will get you home
C Am
You’ve got a lot to learn before you take that turn
C G C
