16th Avenue
Lacy J Dalton ~ 16th Avenue (original version)
16th Avenue Performed by: Lacy J Dalton Written by: Thom Schuyler) Billboard Country Chart No. 7, 1982 From the corners of the country From the cities and the farms With years and years of living Tucked up underneath their arms They walk away from everything Just to see a dream come true So God bless the boys who make the noise On 16th Avenue With a million dollar spirit And an old flattop guitar They drive to town with all they own In a hundred dollar car Cause one time someone told them About a friend of a friend they knew Who owns, you know, a studio On 16th Avenue Now some were born to money Theyve never had to say Survive And others swing a 9 pound hammer Just to stay alive Theres cowboys drunks and Christians Mostly white and black and blue They all dialed the phone collect to home From 16th Avenue Ah, but then one night in some empty room Where no curtains ever hung Like a miracle some golden words Rolled off of someones tongue And after years of being nothing Theyre all looking right at you And for a while theyll go in style On 16th Avenue It looked so uneventful So quiet and discreet But a lot of lives where changed Down on that little one way street Cause they walk away from everything Just to see a dream come true So God bless the boys who make the noise On 16th Avenue From the corners of the country From the cities and the farms With years and years of living Tucked up underneath their arms They walk away from everything Just to see a dream come true ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Somewhere between the greed for money and sound judgment, the legends of country music were tossed aside for the outlandish sound they call country music today.

(Conway) Joni was the girl who lived next door I've known her I guess ten years or more Joni wrote me a note one day And this is what she had to say. (Joni) ''Jimmy, please say you'll wait for me I'll grow up someday you'll see Saving all my kisses just for you Signed with love forever true.'' (Conway) Slowly I read her note once more Then I went over to the house next door Her tear drops fell like rain that day When I told Joni what I had to say. (All) ''Joni, Joni please don't cry You'll forget me by and by You're just fifteen, I'm twenty two And Joni, I just cant wait for you.'' (Conway) Soon I left our little home town Got me a job and tried to settle down But these words kept haunting my memory The words that Joni said to me. (Joni) ''Jimmy please say you'll wait for me I'll grow up some day you'll see Saving all my kisses just for you Signed with love forever true.'' (Conway) I packed my clothes and I caught a plane I had to see Joni, I had to explain How my heart was filled with her memory And ask my Joni if she'd marry me. I ran all the way to the house next door But things weren't like they were before My tear drops fell like rain that day When I heard what Joni had to say. (Joni) ''Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry You'll forget me by and by It's been five years since you've been gone Jimmy, I married your best friend John...''

Most new country songs are what we use to consider pop songs.
