text: Theres a crooked street in Houston Town
  Its a well-worn path Ive traveled down
  Now theres ruin in my name
  I wish Id never got off the train
  And I wish Id listened to the words you said
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street, oh yeah
  Youll be lost and never found
  You can never turn around
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Once I held you in my arms, I was sure
  Then I took that silent step through the gilded door
  But the desire to have much more
  All the glitter and the roar
  Now I know just where the sidewalk ends
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street, oh yeah
  Youll be lost and never found
  You can never turn around
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  When I was young, I thought only of getting out
  I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house
  Give a man gin, give a man cards
  Give him an inch, he takes a yard
  And I rue the day that I stepped off this train
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street, oh yeah
  Youll be lost and never found
  You can never turn around
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Cause youll be lost and never found
  You can never turn around
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
  Dont go down to Fannin Street
