[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
