Tina Toledo's Street Walkin' Blues Lyrics
sweet talkin' johnny push a john quicker than he spit
street walkin' tina with a crooked crown waitin' for it
there she goes
she born in boston but the amtrak took her away
she lives in brooklyn but she works outta queens in the
black limousines, money in the bank
black limousines, money in the bank
send it home
tina toledo got a kid that lives with her ma
she takes the subway after school, makes up her face, changes clothes
there she goes
she feels the rain coming down on washington square
she gives the cops on the beat a little discount
and then, then, then it's
black limousines, money in the bank
black limousines, money in the bank
send it home
hard on the knees, money in the bag
hard on the knees, money in the bag
send it home for medical school, oh
rock herself to sleep with the rhythm of the rain
beating like the bed against the window frame
of her hotel room
rock herself to sleep with the tunes on the dash
don't take no credit cards, she takes cash
says, "money, money, money in the bank"
money, money, money in the bank
money, money, money in the bank
money, money, money in the bank
it ain't no easy life but it pays pretty good,
keeps her out of the cold
it ain't no easy life
but it's silver and gold
silver and gold
silver, silver, silver and GOLD
tina toledo's street walkin' blues
street walkin', street walkin' blues
street walkin' tina with a crooked crown waitin' for it
there she goes
she born in boston but the amtrak took her away
she lives in brooklyn but she works outta queens in the
black limousines, money in the bank
black limousines, money in the bank
send it home
she takes the subway after school, makes up her face, changes clothes
there she goes
she feels the rain coming down on washington square
she gives the cops on the beat a little discount
and then, then, then it's
black limousines, money in the bank
black limousines, money in the bank
send it home
hard on the knees, money in the bag
send it home for medical school, oh
beating like the bed against the window frame
of her hotel room
rock herself to sleep with the tunes on the dash
don't take no credit cards, she takes cash
says, "money, money, money in the bank"
money, money, money in the bank
money, money, money in the bank
money, money, money in the bank
keeps her out of the cold
it ain't no easy life
but it's silver and gold
silver and gold
silver, silver, silver and GOLD
street walkin', street walkin' blues

some girl on the radio was talkin about this one and saying it's all about a prostitute. and i'd agree
def about a hooker and johnny is her pimp.
About halfway through the song during the repeating of "Tina! Tina!" by Ryan and a female vocalist, It sounds very sililiar to the Stones song "Gimme Shelter" when Mick Jagger and a female are singing. The guitars sound the same too.
