Revolution Avenue Songtext

Revolution avenue Leaving Lafayette on Evangeline Struck by a mental-ray and sure fell fine Talkin about a man back in 1963 His mysterious source got a hold on me Gotta do whats right now no turnin back It´s a soul-force my self-respect Put on ma biscuit-colored-suit And ma silver Pompadour Carry courage, hope and vision Gonna walk thru that righteous door The children got to boogie And yall see me boogie too Down on revolution avenue Revolution avenue Revolution...avenue Ain´t gonna deal with the shuffle no mo´- no! My feet are tired but I got a rested soul Keep Coretta good company Cause her man´s got lost between the Devil and the deep blue sea Gotta rock with Levon gotta roll with Mac It´s our soul force honey our self respect yeah Put on ma biscuit-colored-suit And ma silver Pompadour Carry courage, hope and vision Gonna walk thru that righteous door The children got to boogie And we all need to boogie too Down on revolution avenue Revolution avenue Revolution...avenue (we gotta boogie, we gotta boogie....songdogs...)
