Cruisin' Texas Avenue

Oh it seems like only yesterday we were ridin' in my old Chevrolet
Cruisin' up and down the Avenue - laughin' and yellin' at everyone we knew
Our whole gang would pile inside we'd all trade places at every light
With the radio blastin' our favorite songs on a dollars worth of gas we'd cruise all night long
When we go

CHORUS
Cruisin' Texas...
Cruisin' Texas...
Cruisin' Texas Avenue...
Cruisin' Texas Avenue

Remember that night out at Roseland Park, we were so scared there in the dark
As the Cedar Bayou tide went out the mysteries of life we were learning about
And in the halls of Robert E. Lee nobody even dared to mess with you and me
So restless and young and so on fire with our rebel yells and screamin' tires
We'd all go
REPEAT CHORUS

Now the years have come and gone
I've still got you baby, our love is strong
Our kids just laugh cause they don't understand
Cause the whole damn town has moved to Interstate 10

The Avenue looks like a ghost town now
And Robert E. Lee has burned to the ground
But when I hear those old rock 'n roll songs
It makes me want to take you in my arms
And go...
REPEAT CHORUS
