Lyrics
Well, I used to live on Broadway
Right next to the liars' house
Whoa, what a fool I was
My number, yes it was (Was self-righteousness)
Oh, don't you know (Had a very little God of my own)
I'd better move (So I moved)
Yes, I moved (I had to move)
You know I moved
(And I'm living on Straight Street now)
One day my heart got troubled
All about my dwelling place
Whoa, what a place that was
(I saw the Lord) Yes, I did (On his city)
Whoa, I heard him say (And he told me to leave that place)
That's why I moved (So I moved)
Yes, I moved (I had to move)
Got in a hurry
(And 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
I'm so glad I found new friends
Before I moved over here
Let me tell you how it was with me
So much trouble child (Old sinning)
Yes, he did (And he bound to sin)
Whoa, help me, Lord (And I had no liberty)
Until I moved (So I moved)
Yes, I moved (I had to move)
Got in a hurry
(And I'm living on Straight Street now)
