Island Avenue
Billy Bob Thornton

Tonight I walk these city streets alone

Kicking empty beer cans, mumbling in a monotone

And whatever madness the sidewalk show presents

But I've got no time, I've got no desire for painted girls for rent

Or uptown chicks in daddy's cars

The ragtops down shooting for the stars

It's me and it's them, the night's been ripped in two

I couldn't sleep, it's too late for me to call

If I stayed home I'd punch more holes in my apartment wall

I drove down town and tried to come alive

Instead I'm drinking this morning's coffee in this all night dive

And I'll be here for a little while

Think of all the numbers I could dial

Tonight and, god knows, I've got more than a few

But I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

You know it's not long until I'm

I'm going to leave this circus far behind

And drive the night straight through

To Island Avenue

You know I love to walk these streets alone

I thought all I ever wanted was to be out here on my own

But, yes, I'm fascinated by your ways

And, yes, I must admit that you have set me all ablaze

Well, crazy promises that no man can keep

As I slam the door of my battered heap

As I hear the engine start I take my cue

'Cause I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

You know it's not long until I'm

I'm going to leave this circus far behind

And drive the night straight through

To Island Avenue

'Cause I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you

I don't want nobody, don't need nobody, I want you
