[Verse 1] Used to live on Avenue A In a walk up building that was light grey And the rooms were small 2 beds and a tiny hall [Verse 2] Used to live with my best friend My ride or die till the end We talked under our neon signs Drank the rosiest of wine [Verse 3] Used to go to the corner bar As soon as it started to get dark The bartender knew us by name Poured two drinks, cause we got the same [Verse 4] Used to run to the club after my work day To pеrform on a small stage Danced and sang to top 40s hits Went in thе crowd collecting tips [Verse 5] Used to stay up late and vent Talk through all the shit in our heads Wore our hearts on our sleeves Overshared to anyone we see [Verse 6] Used to sneak liquor into the club Put it in a bag, pat down, hands up Lock ourselves in a bathroom stall Duck my head down, cause I am tall [Verse 7] Used to blow my whole paycheck On takeout, and bar hops, and vape sticks We loved to corrupt our lungs Got time to heal, cause we are young [Verse 8] Used to feel really fucking sad Told myself by 21, I'd be dead But somehow I still am here And like to look back through the years [Verse 9] Used to live on Avenue A In a walk up building that was light grey And the rooms were small 2 beds and a tiny hall [Bridge] Spotted Owl, 212 Joyface, The Boiler Room Josie's Pub, Beauty Bar Stonewall Inn, strip show at Scores Dixon Place, Crocodile Lounge Veselka and Up and Down Highline Ballroom and Webster Hall Dream Baby and Niagara San Marzano, B-Side Cafe Mocha, Trader Joes Wines Off The Wagon, late Uber Eats Copper Still, Three Sheets I miss the place Now I'm in a different space Would go back if I could When times were good [Outro] When times were good When times were good When times were good When times were good
