LYRICS
well i used to live on broadway, right next to the liar’s house
my number was self-righteousness and a very little guide of mouth
so i moved, yes i moved, and i’m living on straight street now
before i moved over, let me tell you how it was with me
old satan had me bound in chains and i had no liberty
one day my heart got troubled all about my dwelling place
i heard the Lord when He spoke to me, and he told me to leave that place
so i moved, i moved 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, so glad i found new friends
since i moved, i moved, and i’m living on straight street now
