Dowdy Ferry Road
(Dan Seals)
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 some 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 Momma'd say, "Baby don't you know
That's the peoples' jubilation
On Dowdy Ferry Road"
They're singing it on the corner
*
Chorus:
Dancing in the street
Movin' to the music
Swaying check to check
If you get the feeling
You'll never wanna go
You'll wanna 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 walking
She said, "Teach me to be free"
I said, "The only place to go
Is down Dowdy Ferry Road"
*
They're singing in on the corner
Dancing in the street
Movin' to the music
Swaying check to check
I heard her softly sayin'
"I love you don't you know
And we could live forever
On Dowdy Ferry Road"
*
We're singing it on the corner
*
Chorus:
Dancing in the street
Movin' to the music
Swaying check to check
If you get the feeling
You'll never wanna go
You'll wanna live forever
On Dowdy Ferry Road
