Cotton Avenue
 
  A red sun came rolling down a grey sky
And the frogs and dogs and night birds then
Started up singing sweet country lullaby
You see that patch of city lights-
Somewhere in there’s cotton avenue-
That’s where I’m going to take myself tonight
With a spit shine on my dancing shoes

If you got a place like that to go
You just have to go there
If you got no place special
Well then, you just go no place special

I guess it’s just the summer in the young blood
Ripe and juicy in the young blood
Teasing to go down to ...
Cotton avenue
To hear the shiny shiny music
See all the shiny people dancing to it
Anytime you go to ...
Cotton avenue

If you got a place like that to go
You know you got to go there
If you got no place special
Well then, you just go no place special

You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky
By the time it hits here I’ll be dancing high and dry
To rhythm and blues
On cotton avenue
Poor boys’ll be hanging around outside in the street
They got all the latest words
They’re dancing to the latest beat
While they’re hustling and sizing you
On cotton avenue

If you got a place like that to go
You just have to go there
If you’ve got no place special
Well my dear
You just so no place ... special
