TENDERNESS ON THE BLOCK
(Jackson Browne / Warren Zevon)

Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight
She's trying to run before she can walk - that's right
She's growing up
She's got a young man waiting
She's growing up
She's got a young man waiting
She's got wide eyes
She'll be street-wise
To the lies
And the jive talk
But she'll find true love
And tenderness on the block

Now Daddy, don't you ask her when she's coming home
And when she's back don't ask her where she's been, no no
She's going out
She's got a young man waiting
She's going out
She's got a young man waiting
She'll be okay
Let her have her way
'Cause it's a long way
It's a long walk
But she'll find true love
And tenderness on the block

I know how much it hurts to see her go
But she's got a mind of her own, you know
She's all grown up
She's got a young man waiting
She's all grown up
and got a young man waiting
She was wide-eyed
Now she's street-wise
To the lies
And the jive talk
But she'll find true love
And tenderness on the block
Yes she's going to find true love
And tenderness on the block
