Lyrics The Hooters

The Hooters

Beat Up Guitar

You lived on Vine Street

I lived at home

The music was all that we had of our own

No satisfaction, no dance in my car

But I had the keys to the world in my beat up guitar

With my beat up guitar

You and I will ride away

From the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA

Kensington station, we sat on the tracks

I wrote you a song

The one you knew it was flat

You laughed when they told me

You won't get too far

If you spend the rest of your life with that beat up guitar

With my beat up guitar

You and I will ride away

From the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA

And I may leave this place tomorrow

But my soul is here to stay

In the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA

You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford El

You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford El

You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford El

You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford El

Oh, you can't get to Heaven on the Frankford El

'Cause the Frankford El goes straight to Frankford

It's just another stop till I find my destination

With my beat up guitar

You and I will ride away

From the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA

And with that beat up guitar

We're comin' home again someday

To the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA

Na na na, na na na na

Na na na, na na na

And I may leave this place tomorrow

But my soul is here to stay

In the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA

In the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia, PA
