Straight Street - Ry Cooder

Well I used to live on Broadway, right next to the liar’s house

My number was self-righteousness and a very little guide of mouth

So I moved, I moved and I’m living on straight street now

I moved, I had moved, I’m living on straight street now

Before I moved over, let me tell you how it was with me

Old Satan had me bound in chains and I had no liberty

One day my heart got troubled all about my dwelling place

I heard the Lord when He spoke to me, and he told me to leave that place

So I moved, I moved and I’m living on straight street now

Yes, I moved, I moved, well, I’m living on straight street now

Since I moved, I’m really living, I’ve got peace within

I thank the Lord for everything, so glad I found new friends

Since I moved, I moved and I’m living on straight street now

I moved, I had moved and I’m living on straight street now

I’m living on straight street now

Yes, I moved, I had moved, I’m living on straight street now
