You lived on Vine Street

I lived at home

The music was all that we had of our own

No satisfaction, no dance in my car

But I had the keys to the world in my beat up guitar



With my beat up guitar

You and I will ride away

From the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA



Kensington Station, we sat on the tracks

I wrote you a song

The one you knew it was flat

You laughed when they told me

You won't get too far

If you spend the rest of your life with that beat up guitar



With my beat up guitar

You and I will ride away

From the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA



And I may leave this place tomorrow

But my soul is here to stay

In the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA



You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L

You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L

You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L

You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L

Oh you can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L

Cause the Frankford L goes straight to Franklin

It's just another stop til I find my destination



With my beat up guitar

You and I will ride away

From the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA



And with that beat up guitar

We're coming home again someday

To the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA



And I may leave this place tomorrow

But my soul is here to stay

In the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA



In the town that rocked the nation

Philadelphia, PA



Philadelphia, PA
