Down In Oakland

The Transplants

this song goes out to a good friend of mine

He lives life to the fullest, (yeah) every single day



Down in Oakland

I'm gonna find them

I'm gonna get them

I'll go rewind them

You can not hide them

I will go find them

Oh down in Oakland

It's such a sinner



With a hard boy drunken Ballentine

He's got 7 teeth left in his head, yea

He works at dark's in the day

At night he walks with the dead

And this lady come over to him

She want us take him for a ride

She said, "This dirty old town got no place a hide"



Time going away in town

And you got nowhere to go

Oh you can not move around

When your stuck in a blizzard snow

You wear your royals and eights

And you choose what's gonna be a sight

She said, "This dirty old town got no place a hide"



Down in Oakland

I'm gonna find them

I'm gonna get them

I'll go rewind them

You can not hide them

I will go find them

Oh down in Oakland

It's such a sinner



"Hey, where am I?"



Down in Oakland

I'm gonna find them

I'm gonna get them

I'll go rewind them

You can not hide them

I will go find them

Oh down in Oakland

It's such a sinner
