17th Street (Live) Lyrics

 

I've done a lot of travellin' seen a lot of pretty faces

I've sung my way out blues songs in extraordinary places

I come from 17th

Street and that's on the other side of town an' if you see me wit' my brothers don'cha dare go no further you know we gonna get down down down

Some people think

I'm crazy they say gil it mus' be in yo' mind

They tell me there jus' ain' no sane reazon the way yawl get down ev'ry time

I trytatellemthat

:I come from 17th Street an' that's where the brothers don' mess around and if you lookin' for the music an' we find out you can use it you know we gonna get down down down

If you lookin' for excitement you may need only look next door because the brothers from 17th

Street they don't all live there anymore

Some done moved to

Harlem an'

Some moved way uptown but if you thinkin' bout the

 

Spirit an' you want to get near it c'mon c'mon an' get down down down
