Mega Pawn King - Gin Blossoms

We need to practice, take my city’s back streets

There’s plenty to see there only if you care

Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king

Behind the checks cashed here

If you’re hungry you’re in luck since the border’s wide open

If you’re tired there’s a park only if you dare

Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king

Behind the checks cashed here

Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should

Wouldn’t change it at all, wouldn’t make it look new

Oh…

There’s the LDS church built in 1927

I once knew someone who was banned from there

Behind the thrifts and the shadeless day laborer

Behind the checks cashed here

So come along with me 'cause you’ll miss it on your own

Graffiti art competes with muralists

Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king

Where everything’s ninety-nine cents

(Hey!)

Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should

Wouldn’t change you at all, wouldn’t make you brand new

The metal cross on the wooden door protects the home not me anymore

I always look to see if it’s been moved

Your declining neighborhood

Your declining neighborhood

Don’t forget it, but don’t relive it

Don’t get sucked back pulling out of this town

There are places I won’t revisit

If I don’t miss 'em, they’re fine without me around

(Hey!)

Don’t forget it, don’t relive it

Don’t remember, don’t regret it

There are places I won’t revisit around

Don’t resist it, don’t resent it

Don’t remember, don’t forget it

There are places that are fine without me around

(And round and round and round)

(Woo!)
