Stevie Ray Vaughan Tin Pan Alley (aka Roughest Place In Town) Lyrics

Went down to tin pan alley....see what was going on
Things was too hot down there....couldnt stay very long
Hey hey hey hey....alleys the roughest place Ive ever been
All the people down there....livin for their whisky, wine, and gin

I heard a woman scream....yeah and I peeked through the door
Some cat was workin on annie with a....lord with a two-by-four
Hey hey hey hey....alleys the roughest place Ive ever been
All the people down there....livin for their whisky, wine, and gin
I heard a pistol shoot....yeah and it was a .44
Somebody killed a c___ shooter cause he didnt....shake, rattle, and roll
Hey hey hey hey....alleys the roughest place Ive ever been
All the people down there....killin for their whisky, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standin....with his hand on his gun
Said this is a raid boys....nobody run
Hey, hey, hey....alleys the roughest place Ive ever been
Yeah they took me away from tin pan alley
And took me right back...to the pen
