Songs that mention roads, streets etc

[theluckyrabbit]

"One Day More," from Les Miserables
… One day more
Another day, another destiny
This never-ending road to Calvary
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time
One day more

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"My Time of Day," from Guys and Dolls
My time of day is the dark time
A couple of deals before dawn
When the street belongs to the cop
And the janitor with the mop
And the grocery clerks are all gone.

When the smell of the rainwashed pavement
Comes up clean, and fresh, and cold
And the streetlamp light
Fills the gutter with gold...

 

[Spittyfire]

David Bowie & Mick Jagger
“Dancing in the Street”

 

[bcla]

Steve walks warily down the street
With his brim pulled way down low

Folsom, Folsom street on the way to Polk and Castro
You don't find them finer
Freedom, freedom is in the air, yeah
Searching for what we all treasure: pleasure

6th Avenue Heartache-The Wallflowers

 

[Skywalker3]

Tangled up in Blue--Bob Dylan

I lived with them on Montagüe Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafés at night
And revolution in the air

 

[Spittyfire]

“I found God on the corner of First and Amistad”

 

[Skywalker3]

Mardi Gras Mambo--the Hawkettes
Down in New Orleans
Where the blues was born
It takes a cool cat to blow a horn
On LaSalle and Rampart Street
The combo's there with a mambo beat

 

[Skywalker3]

Carnival Time--Al Johnson

2nd verse:
Claiborne Street is a-rockin'
From-a one side to the other
The joints are jammin', packin'
And I'm about to smother

"Easy Street," from Annie

 

[Skywalker3]

The Walk--Sawyer Brown
Down our long dusty driveway
I didn't want to go
But I set out with tears in my eyes wonderin`
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked down at the school bus and his little man and said,
"Don't worry boy it will be all right"
....................................................................
Down our long dusty driveway
This time we both would go
Well he had grown old and gray
And his mind was a wandering
Daddy took me by the hand
Said I know where we're going
And I understand
Don't worry boy it'll be alright.

sad one....makes me tear up every time

Do I make you wanna dance real slow? Go
Flyin' down a two lane road? Find
A limb to hang your clothes?...
