Melissa Etheridge – Cherry Avenue

And so you meet me

Down at the bar

7th and Cherry

That’s where we are

And I promise not to take you down too far

Beetle takes a dollar

Benz will make a drink

Two will see you holler

No one wants to think

And it’s que sera sera in black and pink

And so we dance

And my feet get lazy

All the stiffs here

They know I’m crazy for you

And so we dance

And the beat gets lost

And this jealous fool

Will pay the cost for you

On Cherry Avenue

Is this a crime

Or just a clever scheme

I want to make you mine

All your roads are green

And I promise not to show you what I’ve seen

Now it’s closing time

Benz wipes down the bar

Beetle kills the lights

Cherry after dark
