🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • (Under the bridge downtown)
  • Is where I drew some blood
  • (Under the bridge downtown)
  • I could not get enough

Echo the hook

  • Lonely as I am, together we cry
  • I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
  • I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
  • She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
