England Dan & John Ford Coley - Dowdy Ferry Road lyrics

I remember when I was a child My daddy said to me We want you to grow up, son A-lovin' your mom and me But there's gonna be hard times When you bound to feelin' low And there's a place of jubilation Where the ragged people go It's over on a back road On the other side of town In the quiet of the evening Sometimes you can hear the sound We'd all sit and listen And Mama'd say, "Baby don't you know That's the people's jubilation On Dowdy Ferry Road" They're singing it on the corner Dancing in the street Movin' to the music Swayin' cheek to cheek If you get the feeling You'll never want to go You'll want to live forever On Dowdy Ferry Road I saw her through a window A-starin' back at me I ask her what her name was She told me Sara Lee And as we were walkin' She said, "Teach me to be free" I said, "The only place to go Is down Dowdy Ferry Road" We're singing it on the corner Dancing in the street Movin' to the music Swayin' cheek to cheek I heard her softly sayin' "I love you, don't you know? And we could live forever On Dowdy Ferry Road" Singing it on the corner Dancing in the street Movin' to the music Swayin' cheek to cheek If you get the feeling You'll never want to go You'll want to live forever On Dowdy Ferry Road Singing it on the corner Dancing in the street Movin' to the music Swayin' cheek to cheek If you get the feeling You'll never want to go You'll want to live forever On Dowdy Ferry Road Singing it on the corner Dancing in the street Movin' to the music Swayin' cheek to cheek If you get the feeling You'll never want to go You'll want to live forever On Dowdy Ferry Road
