| [02:59.55] | A red sun came rolling down a grey sky |
| [03:04.71] | |
| [03:05.31] | And the frogs and dogs and night birds then |
| [03:07.95] | Started up singing sweet country lullaby |
| [03:12.08] | |
| [03:14.99] | You see that patch of city lights |
| [03:17.24] | |
| [03:18.69] | Somewhere in there’s Cotton Avenue |
| [03:21.52] | That’s where I’m going to take myself tonight |
| [03:23.12] | With a spit shine on my dancing shoes |
| [03:27.83] | |
| [03:34.20] | If you got a place like that to go |
| [03:37.00] | |
| [03:37.83] | You just have to go there |
| [03:39.38] | |
| [03:42.21] | If you got no place special |
| [03:45.32] | |
| [03:45.85] | Well then you just go no place special |
| [03:52.62] | |
| [04:02.54] | I guess it’s just the summer in the young blood |
| [04:06.03] | |
| [04:07.00] | Ripe and juicy in the young blood |
| [04:11.01] | Teasing to go down to Cotton Avenue |
| [04:15.55] | |
| [04:18.14] | To hear the shiny shiny music |
| [04:21.19] | |
| [04:22.36] | See all the shiny people dancing to it |
| [04:27.25] | Anytime you go to Cotton Avenue |
| [04:31.84] | |
| [04:38.06] | If you got a place like that to go |
| [04:40.66] | |
| [04:41.93] | You know you got to go there |
| [04:43.70] | |
| [04:45.64] | If you got no place special |
| [04:49.52] | Well then you just go no place special |
| [04:54.75] | |
| [05:06.10] | You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky |
| [05:09.87] | |
| [05:10.84] | By the time it hits here I’ll be dancing high and dry |
| [05:15.56] | To rhythm and blues on Cotton Avenue |
| [05:19.94] | |
| [05:21.87] | Poor boys’ll be hanging around outside in the street |
| [05:25.11] | |
| [05:26.08] | They got all the latest words |
| [05:27.26] | They’re dancing to the latest beat |
| [05:30.64] | While they’re hustling and sizing you |
| [05:33.57] | On Cotton Avenue |
| [05:35.80] | |
| [05:41.16] | If you got a place like that to go |
| [05:43.92] | |
| [05:44.85] | You just have to go there |
| [05:47.34] | |
| [05:48.85] | If you’ve got no place special |
| [05:52.33] | Well my dear |
| [05:53.60] | You just go no place special |
