Street Band

Street Band

Words & Music by Jameson Fox

Walking down the street I came across
A red-doored house with a white old porch
Would you ever think you’d hear something so grand?
It’s some kids who play together in a band
 
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
 
Neatly laid out amps were in a row
A screen door propped open for the show
A boy played the drums and a girl played the bass
Their sister strummed guitar with such grace
 
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
 
Their music brought life to the street
Were the tuning fork and the beat
Sing of love and truth in the ‘hood
Don’t you hear them now? Damn they sound so good
In that beat, from the porch on the street, a hundred souls became one
 
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood

Taking turns they each sang a different verse
While Watsky built his castle on the curb
And the grandmothers pretend they’re at the Strand
But it’s just those kids who play in the band
 
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
 
Their music brought life to the street
Were the tuning fork and the beat
Sing of love and truth in the ‘hood
Don’t you hear them now? Damn they sound so good
In that beat, from the porch on the street, a hundred souls became one
 
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
There’s a Street Band playing
In the neighborhood
There is music playing
In the neighborhood
There is music playing
In the neighborhood
