| When the feeling is lost I can find it
|
| I go down to a street I know
|
| It’s a place where they live to unwind it
|
| They lay back and just keep rolling
|
| Sax man steps right out
|
| Doesn’t care who hears it
|
| Gypsy bass picks a place where it’s working
|
| The drummer lays out some real life rhythm
|
| When this old soul needs clearing
|
| I stay until they bring me back
|
| It ain’t the radio
|
| Living to play, you know
|
| Down on jazz street
|
| (meet me down on jazz street, yeah)
|
| This ain’t your hollywood
|
| They really do it good
|
| Down on jazz street
|
| Down on jazz street there’s one kind of people
|
| Love the truth and they hate the jive
|
| It’s a church though it don’t have a steeple
|
| They’re the ones who know what this life is
|
| Down here they step out
|
| They don’t care who feels it
|
| Every time they set me (to) flying
|
| Seen them raise up the dead and dying
|
| When your old heart is weary
|
| They’ll give you everything you lack
|
| So when your soul needs clearing
|
| Go down where they can bring you back
|
| It ain’t the radio
|
| Living to play, you know
|
| Down on jazz street |
