Don Ray Band - Morningside Ave lyrics
rate meI used to spend my nickels, down at the …dine, on Morningside avenue
I remember watching them teenagers
Cruising the loop on Morningside Avenue
Wishing I could too
Across the street was the parking lot
Where mama said don’t go
She said that’s the place where kids hang out
And the devil steals their soul
On Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
On Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
Soon as I could stay out pass the street light coming on
I was gone
I waited for the light to say walk
Then I ran to the parking lot
On Morning side avenue, to see what was going on
I found the devil on my first night there
Like he was waiting for me
But I felt like a man when I feel for the sin
And I knew I wanted to be
On Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
On Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
I learned how to love, how to get high
I learned about being free
To give a chance I can take on a win
Then I took some I couldn’t believe
Got taught more in the parking lot then I ever did in school
Learned how to fight, how to survive
How to be nobody’s fool
On Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
On Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
[Guitar Solo]
If you get caught doing what you do
Don’t tell your buddies name
On Morningside avenue,
it would be the last thing that you’ll do
And if you find the girl you love
You best keep her away, from Morningside avenue
He’s telling you the truth
I don’t need for nothing, got no change on me
There’s something to be said for the education
You get there on the street, called Morningside avenue
Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
I learned how to be a man
Learned about love, learned how to live free
Why I need to pray to god above
On Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue
On Morningside avenue, Morningside avenue.
