about

Written as Akron's historical Kenmore Boulevard was making a comeback lead by music, the arts and diversity, this song became the 'anthem' for the movement.

lyrics

Bones Of The Boulevard

On the pavement where the sidewalk starts
In the doorways of a thousand hearts
Ah, stories and the mem'ries still linger on
And somethin' else you just can't put your finger on
Like a pulse in the veins the Bones Of The Boulevard

There are footsteps like ghosts in the wind
And the whisperin' Like the voices of your kin

Watchin from the rooftops
Watchin' from the street
While the underground rises
to the bottoms of your feet
Don't have to look too hard
to find the Bones Of The Boulevard

Humans Hearts Dreams and Hope Mortar Brick Steel and Rope
and its Stone on Stone on Stone the Bones ..
Bones of the Boulevard


If the threadbare shop-worn walls could tell
all the stories and the lives that they know so well
Or the people in the trolleys at the curbside crawl
The singers and the drummers in the music hall

Gonna roll it all On the Bones of the Boulevard
