Pam Grier and Robert Forster in "Jackie Brown", driving to the mall. I cut out a little snippet in the middle (with Robert DeNiro and Bridget Fonda) because it is too short to make sense and has different music, anyway.

"Street Life"
Written by Will Jennings, Joe Sample
Performed by Randy Crawford

I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away

You let the people see,
just who you wanna be
And every night you shine,
just like a super star
That`s how the life is played
a ten cent masquerade

cut

(You dress you walk you talk
You're who you think you are

Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel, for a dime)

end cut

Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold

There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon

Street life, street life, street life, oh street life
Hmm, Yeah, oh

I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
There's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
Oh!

Movie: Jackie Brown (1997)
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Based on the novel "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard

  • Can you please post ...

    Can you please post the last 5 minutes of this movie which i truly consider the best music segment of Jackie Brown where Pam Grier asks Robert Forrester (Max Cherry) if he wants to come with him. He says No & as Grier drives away the music of Bobby Womack Across 110th plays. That's one of the coolest endings ever!!!
