Avenues Lyrics

No the cops here they can't run down to your house
Sometimes, I sit and wish i were somewhere else
So lets damn the daylights for us sweethearts that we are
Sometimes I find myself still lying in your arms

All the sweethearts of the world
Are out dancing in the places where me and all my friends
Go to hide our faces

Avenues run one way
Streets they run the same
Something in the air here still keeps me away

No the cops here they can't take me to your house
I get directions and pretend I was somewhere else
All the sweethearts of the world are out littering the bars
And I am still avenues from any place you are

You know avenues run one way
Streets they run the same
Its gonna take a lot of shit for me
To stay away

Whiskeytown was an alt-country band from Raleigh, North Carolina founded in 1994 and fronted by Ryan Adams along with violinist Caitlin Cary. The band produced a number of albums before ultimately parting ways in 2000.

Other members of the group included guitarists Mike Daly and Phil Wandscher, bassist Steve Grothmann and drummer Skillet Gilmore.

Adams and Cary have publicly talked of reuniting Whiskeytown on multiple occasions, as recently as 2005, but as of yet, nothing new has materialized. The two did perform together briefly, along with Skillet Gilmore, on June 8, 2005, in Raleigh.

Major recordings include:

Faithless Street (Mood Food, 1995) which was later reissued with additional tracks and a new mix.

Strangers Almanac (Outpost, 1997).

Pneumonia (Lost Highway, 2001) the band's swan song, which Adams labored over for two years before its release, by which time the group had split up.

The EP Rural Free Delivery (Mood Food, 1997) collects unreleased tracks from the early days and is apparently reviled by Adams.

Additionally, the band's music appears on various soundtracks and compilations. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
