Back Street - Edwin Starr

I’ve been living off of Main Street

Where society is the thing

But people that live on Main Street

They don’t know how to swing

But the people on the back street

They swing, all night long

Although I live on the main street

The back streets is where I belong

So, show me the back street

Show me the back street

Show me the back streets

Show me the back streets, mmm, yeah

(Ooo) where people walkin' side by side

Without knowing each other’s name

(Ooo) and soul is the only thing you need

To join right in and swing

Where people stick together

One for all and all for one

Where they don’t care how much money you got

As long as you’re havin' fun

So, show me the back street

Show me the back streets

Show me the back streets, come on

Show me the back street, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Come on) mmm (show me the back street)

(Ooo) bein' a stranger in any town

Is a very lonesome thing

(Ooo) but if I find the back streets of any town

I know I’ll find a friend

So, show me the back street

Show me the back streets

Show me the back streets, baby

Show me the back street

(Come on) show me (show me the back street) show me the back street

(Come on show me) baby (the back street) come on and show me

(Come on show me) show me (the back street) the back streets, baby

(Come on) Mmm (show me the back street)

(Come on) yeah (show me) I know that (the back street) that’s where it will be

(Come on) Mmm (show me the back street)
