2300 Jackson Street – Lyrics

2300 Jackson street
2300 Jackson street
2300 Jackson street

Memories of growing up
And working hard
Our childhood passed us by

Mom and Dad
They sacrificed their wants and needs
So we could reach the light

Although the times were tough for us
We knew they both worked hard
They gave us all their hearts could give

And still made room for love
We’re all united
And standing strong
And still today
We’re one big family

(chorus)
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
2300 Jackson Street
Always home

Oooooo
In harmony, together we’ll
Join Hands and sing
Our love across the land

Remember we always said, if we got a chance
We’ll plan our work
And work our master plan

Although the road of life is tough
It has its ups and downs
We are the one and all
If we stay together
We can conquer all

We are united
And standing strong
And still today
We’re one big family
Oooooooh

(chorus)

Mother and Father
They raised us to be
The best that we could be

Now the stage is set
The curtain’s up
The crowd applauds your name

Then give a smile
Lets do you’re best
No matter how far we go

(chorus)
