    Story Behind the Song
    I think this song is pretty self explanatory.

    Lyrics
    I was born, sweet concrete
    running forever beneath my feet
    til it was in my blood and in my dreams
    the traffic sings the windows shine
    the neon air that I left behind
    the corner store for the unquiet mind
    I tell myself it's just as well, the siren she sung her spell
    and she took me far away chasing the breeze
    but sometimes down this country road so sweet and so cold there's nothing there but the air to breathe
    I can't let go and I can't say no to this keepsake memory
    that I call home

    I think of the city still dream of the city
    now isn't it a pity that my feet don't feel me standing here right in the countryside
    cuz when I miss my boys I miss my noise down 22nd avenue I just don't see myseilf growing up right in the countryside

    tomorrow morning looks so bleak
    trucking down the empty street
    no sweet transvestite there
    to flirt with me
    no ghost in the alley looking up at the sky
    that's just big enough to fit beside
    somebody else's dream of reaching high
    and even though the moon is the same
    it doesn't shine through the pearly frame
    of the city's breath and the city's flame

    chorus

    wish I were like that tree
    bending to the wind and laughing at me
    saying give it up man
    who you used to be.
    cus i was born, sweet concrete
    running forever beneath my feet
    til it was in my blood and in my dreams
