Joni Mitchell - Cotton Avenue Lyrics
A red sun came rolling down a grey skyAnd the frogs and dogs and night birds thenStarted up singing sweet country lullabyYou see that patch of city lights-Somewhere in theres cotton avenue-Thats where Im going to take myself tonightWith a spit shine on my dancing shoesIf you got a place like that to goYou just have to go thereIf you got no place specialWell then, you just go no place specialI guess its just the summer in the young bloodRipe and juicy in the young bloodTeasing to go down to ...Cotton avenueTo hear the shiny shiny musicSee all the shiny people dancing to itAnytime you go to ...Cotton avenueIf you got a place like that to goYou know you got to go thereIf you got no place specialWell then, you just go no place specialYou see that summer storm brewing in the southern skyBy the time it hits here Ill be dancing high and dryTo rhythm and bluesOn cotton avenuePoor boysll be hanging around outside in the streetThey got all the latest wordsTheyre dancing to the latest beatWhile theyre hustling and sizing youOn cotton avenueIf you got a place like that to goYou just have to go thereIf youve got no place specialWell my dearYou just so no place ... special
