Well I used to live on Broadway, right next to the liar's house
My number was self-righteousness and a very little guide of mouth

So I moved, I moved and I'm livin' on Straight Street now
I moved, I had to move, I'm livin' on Straight Street now

Before I moved over, let me tell you how it was with me
Old Satan had me bound in chains and I had no liberty
One day my heart got troubled all about my dwellin' place
I heard the Lord when He spoke to me, and he told me to leave that place

So I moved, I moved and I'm livin' on Straight Street now
Yes I moved, I move, I'm livin' on Straight Street now

Since I moved, I'm really livin', I've got peace within
I thank the Lord for everything, so glad I found new friends

So I moved, I moved and I'm livin' on Straight Street now
I moved, I had to move, I'm livin' on Straight Street now

I'm livin' on Straight Street now
I moved, I had to move, I'm livin' on Straight Street now
I moved, I had to move, (I'm livin' on Straight Street now)
Well I moved, I had to move, and I'm livin' on Straight Street now
(Livin' on Straight Street now)
(Livin' on Straight Street now)
(Livin' on Straight Street now)
