Spirit

Walkin' down Royal Street A street singer symphony Ain't been the hardest way Ain't had the greatest day Walkin' past memories And the pain that she gave to me Don't you know I'm tryin' to be the bigger man I just wanna feel the spirit I just wanna feel the spirit I just wanna feel the spirit Washin' over me Me and Madame Laveau Seen some people come and go Seen a couple storm clouds pass Seen a couple spells been cast People trippin' down cobblestones Marching bands and trombones Everybody's out here waitin' on the second line And I'm just fine I just wanna feel the spirit I just wanna feel the spirit I just wanna feel the spirit Washin' over me Storm clouds out up ahead Singin' songs of praise to raise the dead I got a heart that was born to be Broken down and wild and free Johnny came in on a train With not a dollar to his name Just an old guitar case And the bruises on his pretty face Walkin' down a railroad track He ain't never comin' back Said mama I don't know if I'm every comin' home again But until then I just wanna feel the spirit I just wanna feel the spirit I just wanna feel the spirit Washin' over me
