There's a crooked street in Houston town
It's a well long path I've traveled down
Now there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train
I wished I'd listened to the words you said
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah
You'll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Once I held you in my arms, I was sure
And I took that silent step through the gilded door
The desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar
Now I know just where the sidewalk ends
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah
You'll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
When I was young I thought only of getting out
I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house
Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard
And I rue the day that I stepped off this train
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah
You'll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah
Cause you'll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
Don't go down...to Fannin Street.
