SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA THERE'S A STREET NAMED AFTER MY DAD
At night only crickets
No prowlers, no sirens
No pinky ring hustlers
No angel dust Byrons
No bars on the windows
No sabre-toothed neighbors
Just good simple folk
In a rainbow of flavors
No more bland TV dinners
No ten car collisions
No showbiz beginners
Making global decisions
No daycare Fellinis
No fast food assassins
No billboard bikinis
Just truth and compassion

“Somewhere in America There’s a Street Named After My Dad” is the first track on the Was (Not Was) album ‘What Up, Dog?’ (which also features the hit “Walk the Dinosaur.”)
The singer is imagining a bucolic life far from the crime-and-violence-ridden streets in which he currently resides.
It’s just a song I’ve always liked and shows a more serious side of a band generally known for its quirky and often humorous output. #WasNotWas #AcousticCovers #CoverSongs
