Eddie Floyd Soul Street Lyrics

[Intro]
Woo!
Sock it to me, sock it to me
Yeah, get here, get here, get here
I believe I'll go somewhere
Yeah, that's what I'ma do, I'ma go somewhere, ah, ah

[Verse 1]
I'm gon' kick off my shoes, going on and play the blues in a hurry
I've got partyin' on my mind, and I ain't got a dime
But, I'm not worried
I called my baby, she promised to be

[Chorus]
Down on Soul Street, yeah
Down a Soul Street, ooh, Lord

[Verse 2]
Everybody's getting down, and people standin' 'round on the corner, that's what they're doin'
Music playin' loud, you can find a crowd, if you want to, yeah
'Cause you can be what you wanna be

[Chorus]
Down on Soul Street, yeah
Down a Soul Street, ooh, Lord
[Bridge]
Say, man, I ain't seen you in a long time
Say, brother, where've you been? Hey, man, there's Bubba over there
Hey, Bubba, where you been?
Heh, hey, hey

[Verse 3]
What's that I smell? Someone's smelling good, here, yeah
Keep that barbecue smokin', and hot sauce soaking', to the bone, yeah
You can get a groove if you keep on movin' all night long, that's what you gotta do
You can be what you wanna be

[Chorus]
Down on Soul Street, yeah
Down on Soul Street, yeah
Why don't you meet me? (Meet me)
Down on Soul Street, yeah
Everybody, meet me (Need me)
Down on Soul Street, yeah

[Outro]
That's where all the brothers and sisters meet (Meet me)
Down on Soul Street
On the Mississippi harbor, Memphis, Tennessee
Why don't you me me? (Meet me)
Down on Soul Street, yeah
Everybody, meet me (Need me)
Down on Soul Street, yeah
