Down in Oakland

This song goes out to a good friend of mine

He lives life to the fullest, (yeah) every single day

Down in Oakland

I'm gonna find them

I'm gonna get them

I'll go rewind them

You can not hide them

I will go find them

Oh down in Oakland

It's such a scene, man

With a hard boy drunken Ballentine

He's got 7 teeth left in his head, yea

He works at docks in the day

At night he walks with the dead

And this lady comes over to him

She wants to take him for a ride

She said, "This dirty old town got no place a hide"

Time going away in town

And you got nowhere to go

Oh you cannot move around

When your stuck in a blizzard snow

You wear your wrongs and your rights

And you choose what's gonna be a sight

She said, "In this dirty old town there's no place a hide"

Down in Oakland

I'm gonna find them

I'm gonna get them

I'll go rewind them

You can not hide them

I will go find them

Oh down in Oakland

It's such a scene, man

"Hey, where am I?"

Down in Oakland

I'm gonna find them

I'm gonna get them

I'll go rewind them

You can not hide them

I will go find them

Oh down in Oakland

It's such a scene, man
