With a driving beat and punchy vocals, “Suburban Sidewalk” is a fun and sassy song about a woman going out on her own to live in the big city! Enjoy this SOLO version as Jessica Leia takes the stage with nothing but her voice and her guitar and rocks it out all the way!
lyrics
Verse 1
She grew up in the suburbs and of course her Mama loved her.
But she never really fit in to the “all up in yo’ business” scene.
The lady’d like to have a blast, but she just can’t escape the past.
Because she likes to kiss the girls the people call her obscene.
And she hates it, ‘cause she can’t fake it. And there’s so many other places.
So, she can leave or take it. Leave or take it.
Verse 2
She doesn’t wanna miss a beat. She’d rather go and hit the streets.
Step out off the curb where you can catch a bus to anywhere.
Where the people let her be. Hey there ain’t nothin’ here to see.
When you’ve already seen it all, you don’t feel the need to stare.
Pre-Chorus
And she wants it. So, she’s gonna get it. And if it ends up she hates it.
She won’t even sweat it: won’t even sweat it.
Chorus 1
She’s doin’ it on her own. She’s a sweet suburban honey in an urban zone.
She got fake eyelashes and pink hair on, but don’t nobody give a damn
‘Cause this ain’t no suburban sidewalk. No, it’s a big city sidewalk.
Verse 3
She found her way to freedom and the action’s where it is.
Anonymity among the masses – don’t nobody give a shizz.
She don’t need a reason, she don’t need to make sense.
She could be a Chupacabra and nobody’d know the difference.
Pre-Chorus
And she wants it, so she’s gonna go and get it. And if it ends up she hates it,
she won’t even sweat it. She won’t even sweat it.
Chorus 2
She’s doin’ it on her own. She’s a sweet suburban honey in an urban zone.
She got blue sunglasses and fishnets on, but don’t nobody give a damn
‘Cause this ain’t no suburban sidewalk. No, it’s a big city sidewalk.
Solo
Pre-Chorus
If you want it, go and get it. And if it ends up yu hate it,
don’t even sweat it. Don’t even sweat it. Don’t even sweat it.
Chorus 3
She’s doin’ it on her own. She’s a sweet suburban honey in an urban zone.
She got ten tattoos with her high heels on, but don’t nobody give a damn
‘Cause this ain’t no suburban sidewalk. No, it’s a big city sidewalk.
This ain’t no suburban sidewalk. No, it’s a big city sidewalk. This ain’t no suburban sidewalk.
