Jones Street and 4th
David Brown
It’s February 1963
(And they’re) walking down the middle of the road
They’re so in love and there’s a blue VW
Parked on the side of the road
Walking down
Walking down
Walking down the middle of the road
Vulnerable and untouchable
But after all it ain’t such a ball
Foetus and famous – it’s a fork in the road
Their hopes and dreams are under siege
Walking down the middle of the road
But they hold on tight in the fading light
Walking down the middle of the road
It’s so hard to keep a centre line
Snipers fire from windows on each side
Trying to rewrite their own history
All of the children
Who’s time wasn’t right
We’ll always wonder
What it would have been like
If we had taken a different road
Now it’s O and J in the present day
Walking down the middle of the road
Just him and her - could be the same picture
Walking down the middle of the road
