Walking down Royal street
A street singers symphony
Ain't been the hardest way
Ain't had the greatest day
Walking past memory
The pain that she gave me
Don't you know I'm trying to be a bigger man?
I just want to feel the spirit
Washing over me
Me and Madamn Laveau
Seen some people come and go
Seen a couple storm clouds pass
Seen a couple spells been cast
People tripping down cobble stone
Marching bands and trombones
Everybodys out here waiting on the second line
And I'm just fine
I just want to feel the spirit
Washing over me
Storm clouds up ahead
Singing songs of praise, to raise the dead
I got heart that was born to be
broken down, oh and free
Johnny came in on a train
With not a dollar to his name
Just an old guitar case
And the bruises on his petty face
Walking down a railroad track
He ain't never coming back
Said mama 'I don't know if I'm ever coming home again'
“I just want to feel the spirit— Amos Lee
