Rodriguez - Street Boy Lyrics






Street boy
You've been out too long
Street boy
Ain't you got enough sense to go home
Street boy
You're gonna end up alone
You need some love and understanding
Not that dead-end life you're planning
Street boy

You go home but you can't stay
Because something's always pulling you away
Your fast hellos and quick goodbyes
You're just a street boy
With the streetlights in your eyes
You better get yourself together
Look for something better

Street boy
You've been out too long
Street boy
Ain't you got enough sense to go home
Street boy
You're gonna end up alone
You need some love and understanding
Not that dead-end life you're planning
Street boy

Your sister says that every week
You just come home to eat and go to sleep
And you make plans you never keep
Because your mind is always in the streets
You better get yourself together
Look for something better

Street boy
You've been out too long
Street boy
Ain't you got enough sense to go home
Street boy
You're gonna end up alone
You need some love and understanding
Not that dead-end life you're planning
Street boy

There's one last word then I'll conclude
Before you pick up and put on your attitude
Bet you'll never find or ever meet
Any street boy who's ever beat the streets

Street boy
Street boy
Street boy
Street boy
Street boy
Street boy

Sweet boy

    Straight to my heart I have fallen in love with this mans music

  10. P.... W....

    My street boy you are the best

  11. M.... E....

    I've only ever cried during one film and that was Searching for Sugar Man. Best music ever.

  12. �.... �....

    A true artist who never made money from music.
    In addition all the world music pimps made millions..
    He is a hero to me

  13. P.... r....

    You better get yourself together
    Look for something better 😢

  14. T.... ....

    Mash Sf🤟

  15. S.... B....

    Soy fan de Rodriguez desde que vi un documental de el en tv. .Me parecio fabuloso el tipo y a la vez injusto que no fuera reconocido en su momento...Un tipo que hay que admirar...

  16. T.... m....

    Bu adamı seviyorum be (TÜRKLER HER YERDE🇹🇷)

  17. M.... E....

    Un gran músico y poeta!

  18. C.... M....

    This man made so much for humanity, he made so much for me, I really want to find a way to thank him

    C.... M....

    hes still alive

    C.... M....

    @Drew Goodman i know

  19. E.... ....

    I woke up with this song in my head this morning.

  20. A.... F....

    Que som dá hora
    Isso que é um ótimo FOLK

    THE BEST FOLK

  21. E.... S....

    I ve watched the movie ... and grew to like sugar man... but street boy is winning me over. A masterpiece!

  22. H.... F....

    Rodriguez, is a true artist he doesn't waste words, writes real day to day living and not what he thinks YOU might want to hear.

  23. m.... w....

    2019 NYC ! I'm a hip hop dude but I like Rodriguezs music . Only someone from the bottom can make a song like this

  24. G.... 2....

    Loveeeee

  25. H.... M....

    Rodriguez is amazing. A lot of people look at the people who live on the streets and look down their noses at them, but Rodriguez looks them in the eyes and sees them as people worthy of the same love and recognition we give to our friends and families. Viva Rodriguez!

  26. R.... D....

    All I can say is, if you have not seen the movie Searching for Sugarman on Netflix you don't know what you are missing. No work of fiction could ever come close to this amazing true-life tale.

  27. S.... B....

    At 1.36 and for 2-3 seconds after you can hear the voice of a person talking or some other human like sound very vaguely in the background, can be heard throughout some other parts of the song.. interesting hehe

  28. M.... A....

    Sweet boy

  29. Y.... A....

    Reminds me of my brother. After all is said and done he was a sweet boy.

  30. r.... l....

    This man is timeless .even had my 2yo daughter walking around singing his songs . she knows a good song when she hears it x

  31. M.... P....

    why is this not on spotify anymore?

  32. t.... d....

    i am like, *fata cu valiza*! All i want to say is, i love this song!

  33. 7.... C....

    Mexican dude got a mind

  34. A.... S....

    Arriba México

  35. O.... 2....

    I don't know, I liked Dillon, until I heard Rodriguez... Wow... Sorry Bob, you're out of rotation..

    O.... 2....

    bob DYLAN is hardly even comparable to Rodiguez. Is liking two great artists at the same time too complicated for you?

    O.... 2....

    It's a shame it's not possible to like two singers at the same time.

    O.... 2....

    I like cumin.

    O.... 2....

    Luann Rouff think you've hit the nail on the head there

  36. B.... ....

    This song takes me back to my early 20s with my former partner, when we both moved, met and fell in love in a new city. We tried to find a home together and ended up living in 8 different
    homes.

  37. Z.... Z....

    I love this song....

  38. r.... k....

    I have a sixto portrait tattoo on my arm, it was made last week in 2017. Big respect for him and the working class..

  39. K.... G....

    https://youtu.be/4Fng7Y-FmnU great song I love it

  40. M.... B....

    Rodriguez has over taken me with his songs.. My soul is shaken to the core by his music!!!!!

  41. M.... B....

    I saw a street boy tonight and thought of this song. I cry!!!!

  42. J.... W....

    love you street boy see u in heaven Charlie Manson

  43. p.... r....

    i grew up with hes albums in the 80s, then got to see him twice in a week, london and brighton, all i can say is RODDERS your something special,thank you

  44. F.... ....

    the lyrics , oh so true !

  45. M.... ....

    无产阶级音乐家

  46. H.... T....

    REAL KİNG..

  47. i.... g....

    bell bell

  48. I.... T....

    awesome song

  49. M.... ....

    Brilliant song writer ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

  50. D.... H....

    A truly amazing song.  Sugar Man Rodriguez was a godsend.

    D.... H....

    You mean he IS a godsend

  51. N.... G....

    to be out in the category with Dylan, Rodriguez was labeled better then Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan was more charismatic. Rodriguez was a genius making ture felt hearted music

  52. v.... v....

    so true....

  53. p.... f....

    the best song of rodriguez,brillant

  54. S.... b....

    just got back home from his Brisbane concert. Unbelievable performance, the crowd was in awe. Such a privilege to have heard him live

  55. S.... P....

    a volte mi chiedo perchè le persone come lui vengono viste come dei sovversivi o peggio , mentre secondo me dovrebbero essere loro ad avere la guida di stati e nazioni ...ed invece persone come Trump , Renzi e compagnia bella dovrebbero provare a fare una vita di miseria e con le prese in giro di assistenti sociali...probabilmente si suiciderebbero entro pochi mesi....

  56. S.... D....

    Watched the Movie of the search for this man. Been a fan every since. He is the essence of perfection of any human I have ever imagined. Of course No one is above Christ. This man is certainly the closest one like Christ.

    S.... D....

    Christ could never write something like this

    S.... D....

    I was thinking the same, watching his story and thinking about what Jesus says and did, at the end of the documentary says he gave almost all the money to other people.. he's just great!

  57. R.... B....

    Una delle migliori voci del pop americano negli anni di Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison e dell'immenso Jimi Hendrix. Non altrettanto conosciuto, anche per la feroce censura a cui erano condannati i suoi pezzi.

  58. G.... R....

    searching rodriguez

  59. F.... ....

    wow, this describes me to a T, kind of scary how much i can relate to this. especially that sister part.

  60. S.... ....

    he's like Bob Dylan with a soul.

    S.... ....

    Exactly: with a soul.

    S.... ....

    Damn right 😂😂

    S.... ....

    He can piss on Bob 😂

    S.... ....

    Tomislav Budek 😂😂😂hell yea

  61. d.... ....

    I love it and am glad you posted it--but the last line is incorrect. The last line is sweet boy.

  62. A.... M....

    Se ha plagiado de Yung Beef el titulo kien sa foyao a tu bitch?

    A.... M....

    quien se supone que es yung beef?

  63. M.... F....

    Coming to Adelaide South Australia soon, I'll be there , quite bed if he wants one to get away any time.

  64. S.... M....

    Scary how 🎶 can allow you to learn a person's deepest thoughts. I

  65. M.... F....

    Mr.Rodriguez performed this one during his most recent tour and I tell ya, it was a once in a lifetime experience

  66. L.... V....

    Anders Nordlow.

  67. C.... L....

    My favourite!

  68. I.... I....

    Brings tears to my eyes describes exactly who I am but I love this song realist song I've ever heard

  70. d.... ....

    This song is simple, yet it's brilliant.

    d.... ....

    kind of

  71. S.... i....

    eternity is sixto..

  72. B.... U....

    it's the way he sings. he has a certain magic..a real human quality in the lyric and vocal. and yes it also can bring a tear to the eye. I'm just so pleased this man's story was told, and I'm happy he now finally knows his music is loved and listened to all around the world. justice has been done. Rodriguez you are special

  73. B.... G....

    they are right. More insight then Dylan

  74. �.... �....

    I just can't to say how much i respect this man, he created a great music for all times. Peace and respect to u 62 for all times.

  75. M.... B....

    OI'm 70 years old. San Francisco 1956, L.A. 1967, back to Oakland, then Ohio.. This is the only music that has ever brought tears to my eyes... Thank you Sixto..
    Mike

    M.... B....

    M.... B....

    Thats pretty deep. I can appreciate very much.Great comment.

    M.... B....

    Mike Bruning ..me too.

  76. O.... C....

    He wrote this song for me........And tu tambien Drunk VatO

    O.... C....

    +Ozzy Chingas Yes I feel the same way. Like he wrote this for me, it describes my adolescents to a T.

  77. J.... M....

    it connects with me as a skateboarder with struggles in multiple situations

  78. J.... M....

    it connects with me as a skateboarder with struggles in multiple situations

  79. L.... A....

    This song always makes me cry. I know a street boy, he's always on my mind.

  80. S.... N....

    :-) **** good music!

  81. U.... S....

    Amazing song... I've made a cover that's not as good but very different. It would be nice if you could check it out, It's only short and I've made the video too. Very shy so please comment what you think. Bring me out of my shell. Or cast me back in it :)

  82. D.... P....

    This is one of the few songs he has written where the sentence structure was not in a passive tense and I think it works extremely well...
    Beautiful song - beautiful sentiment...

  83. A.... B....

    This song is amazing!!

  84. M.... Y....

    Watched the film about him and "shame on us" said I, never noticed this great man .not only for his songs but his way of life, hard worker...

  85. K.... S....

    I love his songs they touch you, the rythm is just there!

  86. B.... D....

    j'adore!

  87. K.... C....

    I've heard an incredible story about this fantastic author, he was a star outside US and didn't know it. That's crazy!  I love his songs.

    K.... C....

    @Kishanna Conan Doyle yeah, watch Searching For Sugar Man, he was actually famous in South Africa. Its totally worth watching

    K.... C....

    Rafael De Stefano He was nearly as famous in Australia at the same time

    K.... C....

    @Steve best cool, I saw the documentary and found it amazing!

  88. M.... L....

    a bio je poznatiji od kralja i bitlsa

  89. a.... k....

    he must be talking about himself :)

  90. p.... ....

    yeeaaah !!!! 

  91. S.... M....

    There's a lot of compassion in this song.   Makes a change from judging people.  

  92. t.... ....

    good job from france  ! Peace 

  93. 1.... ....

    It's crazy how this song was recorded over 40 years ago and it can still draw a parallel with another 27 year old, myself, from today...Good song

    1.... ....

    Real artists are timeless! He gave the world a gift every time he put pen to paper.

    1.... ....

    Life is just a cycle, there are tons of old songs that we can still relate to this day. Maybe that's because human nature will always be the same.

  94. H.... C....

    could this song actually be about his life?

    H.... C....

    That or people he knew

  95. C.... C....

    Semplicemente ADORABILE!!!

  96. M.... ....

    what are the chords??? driving me crazy. I emailed Sixto and he won't tell me.

    M.... ....

    Figure out for yourself streetboy
