Lyrics Ry Cooder – Straight Street

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
