[Verse 1]
A red sun came rolling down a grey sky
And the frogs and dogs and night birds then
Started up singing sweet country lullaby
You see that patch of city lights
Somewhere in there's Cotton Avenue
That's where I'm going to take myself tonight
With a spit shine on my dancing shoes

[Chorus]
If you got a place like that to go
You just have to go there
If you got no place special
Well then, you just go no place special

[Verse 2]
I guess it's just the summer in the young blood
Ripe and juicy in the young blood
Teasing to go down to Cotton Avenue
To hear the shiny shiny music
See all the shiny people dancing to it
Anytime you go to Cotton Avenue

[Chorus]
If you got a place like that to go
You know you got to go there
If you got no place special
Well then you just go no place special
