Olympia, WA

By Molly Tuttle (2020)
On album ...but i'd rather be with you (2020)

...but i'd rather be with you
[Verse 1]
Hangin' out with Lars down on 6th Street
He knew I was in trouble
I was feelin' much like the devil
There was something burnin' deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans
These girls took us to the fun house
Where we played a lonely pinball machine

[Chorus]
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars pass me by, but none of 'em seem to go my way
New York City, well I wish I was on the highway
Back to Olympia

[Verse 2]
I'm havin' a hard time understandin'
It gets all too demandin'
She's all gone and I'm stranded
Somethin' burnin' deep inside of me
All I know it's four o'clock
And she ain't ever showed up
And I watched a thousand people go home from work

[Chorus]
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars pass me by, but none of 'em seem to go my way
New York City, well I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia

[Verse 3]
How many times will it take me
Before I go crazy?
Before I lose everything?
Somethin' burnin' deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans
These girls took us to the fun house
I don't wanna be alone again

[Chorus]
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars pass me by, but none of 'em seem to go my way
New York City, well I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia
