mary loved tony for 70 years
on the day that he died, no tears
he saw it comin', she saw it too
when it hurts that bad, cryin' won’t help you

      in my neighborhood
      in my neighborhood

michael and michelle were always in a fight
I could hear them yellin' through the window every night
but michael found a job and they bought a little house
nobody was fightin' on the day they moved out

      in my neighborhood
      in my neighborhood

<strike>
mister ramirez lives across the street
works three jobs to make his ends meet
says he's got a dream to buy his own place
I bet he's gonna do it, I can see it on his face
</strike>
ramon and his family live across the street
he cooks at three restaurants to make ends meet
says he always dreamed of runnin' his own place
I bet he's gonna do it, I can see it on his face

      in my neighborhood
      in my neighborhood

pretty blonde lady about fourty-four
decided that she could not wait any more
her new dream man isn't tall, dark or handsome
but she knows when she needs him, he's gonna answer

      in my neighborhood
      in my neighborhood

me on my porch, dreamin' up songs
smoking, drinkin' coffee all day long
everybody wonders can he get a real job
maybe I will, when I finish this song

      in my neighborhood
      in my neighborhood
      in my neighborhood
      in my neighborhood

Here's the requisite rough-sounding laptop demo:
