not only do i need lyrics for this particular song, but also the artist and title of the song. its an old song (country, folk???) from the 70's or 80's and the only thing i remember about it is the line from the chorus "bless the boys who made the noise on 15th (??) avenue". its been driving me crazy lately, and i haven't been able to track down the title of the song or the artist. can anyone help?

Mind if I join you? I have a tape with the song on it... a great song.. just have a mental block on the singer... a woman. I'll see if I can find it downstairs...

16th Avenue
(Lacy J. Dalton)

From the corners of the country
From the cities and the farms
With years and years of living
Tucked up underneath their arms

They walk away from everything
Just to see a dream come true
So God bless the boys who make the noise
On 16th Avenue

With a million dollar spirit
And an old flattop guitar
They drive to town with all they own
In a hundred dollar car

'Cause onetime someone told them
About a friend of a friend they knew
Who owns, you know, a studio
On 16th Avenue

Now some were born to money
They've never had to say "Survive"
And others swing a 9 pound hammer
Just to stay alive

There's cowboys drunks and Christians
Mostly white and black and blue
They've all dialed the phone collect to home
From 16th Avenue

Ah, but then one night in some empty room
Where no curtains ever hung
Like a mirical some golden words
Rolled off of someone's toungue

And after years of being nothing
They're all looking right at you
And for a while they'll go in style
On 16th Avenue

It looked so uneventful
So quiet and discreet
But a lot of lives where changed
Down on that little one way street

'Cause they walk away from everything
Just to see a dream come true
So God bless the boys who make the noise
On 16th Avenue
