Straight Street by Ry Cooder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
So I moved, I moved and I'm living on Straight Street now
I moved, I had to move, I'm living on Straight Street now

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
So I moved, I moved and I'm living on Straight Street now
Yes I moved, I move, well I'm living on Straight Street now

[Bridge]
Since I moved, I'm really living, I've got peace within
I thank the Lord for everything, so glad I found new friends
[Chorus]
So I moved, I moved and I'm living on Straight Street now
I moved, I had to move, and I'm living on Straight Street now

[Outro]
I'm living on Straight Street now
Yes I moved, I had to move, I'm living on Straight Street now
Yes I moved, I had to move, yes I'm living on Straight Street now
Well I moved, yes had to move, and I'm living on Straight Street now
(Move, move, living on Straight Street now)
(Move, move, living on Straight Street now)
(Move, move, living on Straight Street now)
