Frank Sinatra/Vanessa Carlton - Revolution Avenue Songtexte

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 what's 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 the righteous door
The children got to boogie, and we all needs to boogie too
Down on REVOLUTION AVENUE
REVOLUTION AVENUE
REVOLUTION .................AVENUE

(We gotta boogie, we gotta boogie........Songdogs....)
