Revolution Avenue Lyrics

Revolution avenue

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 whats 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 thru that righteous door
The children got to boogie
And we all need to boogie too

Down on revolution avenue
Revolution avenue
Revolution...avenue

(we gotta boogie, we gotta boogie....songdogs...)
