Straight Street Lyrics

Well I used to live on Broadway
Right next to the liar's house
My number was self-righteousness
And a very little guide of mouth
So I moved, I moved
And I'm living on straight street now
I moved, I had moved
I'm living on straight street now

Before I moved over
Let me tell you how it was with me
Old Satan had me bound in chains
And I had no liberty
One day my heart got troubled
All about my dwelling place
I heard the Lord when He spoke to me
And he told me to leave that place
So I moved, I moved
And I'm living on straight street now
Yes, I moved, I moved
Well, I'm living on straight street now

Since I moved, I'm really living
I've got peace within
I thank the Lord for everything
So glad I found new friends
Since I moved, I moved
And I'm living on straight street now
I moved, I had moved
And I'm living on straight street now
I'm living on straight street now
Yes, I moved, I had moved
Living on straight street now
Yes, I moved, I had moved
Yes, I'm living on straight street now
We I moved, yes I had moved
And I'm living on straight street now
(Moved, moved)
(Living on straight street now)
(Moved, moved)
(Living on straight street now)
