Riding the Avenue
Written by Lenny Kaye
I remember it like I was almost there.
It happened at the Middlesex County Fair.
She had big brown eyes that were rimmed in black.
I though I recognized them from the school bus back.
And all I ever wanna do
Is riding on the avenue.
We got a lot of living still to do
Riding the avenue.
Taking a turn on Lynnwood Place
A Continental rolled in and out of a space,
Past Linda's house, tonight's the night
To see who's waiting at the Constable light.
And all I ever wanna do
Is riding on the avenue.
We got a lot of living still to do
Riding the avenue.
[?????????????????] and up to River Lane
Having a dog down on Albany
[????] the Dairy Queen to the New Brunswick [????]
Past [?????????] Pool Hall and
Parking in the driveway of a bowling alley light
At the St. Peters' prom we were doing the sights,
Heading down the seaside on the morning flight,
With the sound of the Fendermen bucking the heights.
And all I ever wanna do
Is riding on the avenue.
We got a lot of living still to do
Riding the avenue.
It's another Wednesday and I ain't gone far
Up the stairs to the Melody Bar.
I keep hearing a blues project song.
Cheryl's going home but not for long.
And all I ever wanna do
Is riding on the avenue.
We got a lot of living still to do
Riding the avenue.
And all I ever wanna do
Is riding on the avenue.
We got a lot of living still to do
Riding the avenue.
Riding the avenue
