Lyrics of The Streets of Jordan

You say you wish tomorrow would not find you
And you want to leave this day behind
Wishing to escape the sorrow of the daily grind
You say your world is lonely and the Sun don't shine
Let me take you for a walk through the Streets of Jordan
You'll see something to make you change your mind

Through the window sits the local pastor
Preparing his sermon for Sunday
Knowing the joy and courage it will bring
As he bows his head to pray

At the local grocery store
A young man is stocking every shelf
Happy with the career he chose
He likes working by himself

The chef takes the customers order
At the local restaurant
Doing what he loves to do
The meal is done just the way you want

Our local law enforcement has a very friendly cop
And don't forget the best yet is at the local butcher shop
The barber is always cheerful when he cuts your hair
Every Summer pleasant memories can be made
At the local county fair

You say you wish tomorrow would not find you
And you want to leave this day behind
Wishing to escape the sorrow of life's daily grind
You say your world is lonely and that the Sun don't shine
Well, let me take you for a walk through the Streets of Jordan
You'll see something to make you change your mind

Let me take you for a walk. Let me take you for a walk.
Let me take you for a walk through the Streets of Jordan
You'll see something to make you change your mind
