Saturday on the Avenue

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Sun comes through the oaks on Blue Ridge Avenue
Pour the coffee out, the sky is loud and blue
Lace the canvas up, we're walking down the hill
To the Eastside Trail where the morning's bright and still
Dogs and bicycles, the concrete's warming up
Half a mile in, I'm holding a paper cup

[Pre-Chorus]
Got no place to be until the afternoon
Just catching the rhythm of the neighborhood room

[Chorus]
Oh, it's a Saturday on the Avenue
Poncey-Highland breathing bright and new
From the porch steps down to the neon glow
There's nowhere else I'd ever need to go
Yeah, the weekend's got a golden hue
Walking the Avenue

[Verse 2]
Flipping through the bins, looking for some brass
Finding an old jazz cut buried in the dust
Walk it back up North, past the heavy brick and stone
Got a cooler on the porch, making out a weekend home
Crack a lager open as the shadows start to reach
Neighbors passing by, hear the gravel by the street

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a beautiful hum, a perfect kind of slow
Waiting for the marquee lights to start the show

[Chorus]
Oh, it's a Saturday on the Avenue
Poncey-Highland breathing bright and new
From the porch steps down to the neon glow
There's nowhere else I'd ever need to go
Yeah, the weekend's got a golden hue
Walking the Avenue

[Bridge]
And right there at 1049 Ponce de Leon
The Plaza letters light up, pulling everybody on
Meet me by the ticket booth, a quarter up to eight
We're exactly where we're supposed to be, and never running late
For the magic...

[Chorus]
Oh, it's a Saturday on the Avenue
Poncey-Highland breathing bright and new
From the porch steps down to the neon glow
There's nowhere else I'd ever need to go

[Outro]
Yeah, Saturday on the Avenue
Singing loud and true
Under the canopy, the night is spinning round
And tomorrow we can do it all again
Or maybe just watch the branches bend.
