Down at Twelve, I play every night
Ain't nobody knows my name
But every soul knows the tune's tight
Gonna keep this heart in the game
On that corner, I set my pace
The neon lights are my guide
Till the sun comes and chases
The shadows from my side
Oh, I’m a wanderer, on Twelve Street I play
Electric blues that light up the night
Oh, I’m a wanderer, till dawn breaks the day
My guitar echoes the lonely fight
Empty streets, cold wind's my friend
I've got my guitar and some change
The stars are my witness, they’ll never pretend
I’m just a man, singing in the rain
Oh, I’m a wanderer, on Twelve Street I play
Electric blues that light up the night
Oh, I’m a wanderer, till dawn breaks the day
My guitar echoes the lonely fight
At the break of dawn, I’ll pack my load
Back to my place, but I'll never go
For every night’s a new road
And Twelve Street's where I belong
