Back Street - Edwin Starr

(Back street) 
(Back street) 

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)
