CRD: 16th Avenue/Lacy J Dalton

[SingleAct]

saw some stuff on this one-Enjoy! (she adds and God bless the girls
who make the noise...as the last line sometimes in concert)

God Bless The Boys That Make The Noise On 16th Avenue
Lacy J. Dalton

G D G
From the corners of the country from the cities and the farms
Em C G D
With years and years of living tucked up underneath their arms
Em C G C
Walk away from everything just to see a dream come true
G G(F#) Em C D G
God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Avenue

With a million dollar spirit and an old flat top guitar

They drive to town with all they own in a hundred dollar car

Those the ones that someone told 'em 'bout a friend of a friend they
knew

Who owns you know a studio on 16th Avenue.

Now some were born to money and never had to say survive

And others swing a 9 pound hammer just to stay alive

There's cowboys, drunks, and christians, mostly white, black, and blue

They've 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

After years of being nothing they're all looking right at you

And then for a while they'll go in style on 16th Avenue.

They look so uneventful, so quiet and discreet

But a lot of lives were changed out on that little one-way street

Oh they walk away from everything just to see a dream come true

So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Avenue.
