text: A red sun came rolling down a grey sky
  And the frogs and dogs and night birds then
  Started up singing sweet country lullaby
  You see that patch of city lights-
  Somewhere in theres cotton avenue-
  Thats where im going to take myself tonight
  With a spit shine on my dancing shoes
  If you got a place like that to go
  You just have to go there
  If you got no place special
  Well then, you just go no place special
  I guess its just the summer in the young blood
  Ripe and juicy in the young blood
  Teasing to go down to ...
  Cotton avenue
  To hear the shiny shiny music
  See all the shiny people dancing to it
  Anytime you go to ...
  Cotton avenue
  If you got a place like that to go
  You know you got to go there
  If you got no place special
  Well then, you just go no place special
  You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky
  By the time it hits here ill be dancing high and dry
  To rhythm and blues
  On cotton avenue
  Poor boysll be hanging around outside in the street
  They got all the latest words
  Theyre dancing to the latest beat
  While theyre hustling and sizing you
  On cotton avenue
  If you got a place like that to go
  You just have to go there
  If youve got no place special
  Well my dear
  You just so no place ... special
