157 Riverside Avenue [Arch Allies] Lyrics by REO Speedwagon

Arch Allies: Live at Riverport

2000

[Verse 1]
Well, we flew into town on Sunday, had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport, I found a place that we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue
[Verse 2]
Well, the Saugatuck River's flowin’, Mother Nature's colors were showin'
So cold and rainy, we couldn’t help feelin' blue
Not enough time, too many things to do
So we just sat back and played some
[Verse 3]
Well, we met a young girl on Main Street, wanted just to pass her by
She was lovely and we was horny, she said, "Can I make love to you?"
We said, "157 Riverside Avenue"
[Spoken over guitar solo]
Here's what she said
She spoke like a guitar, that woman did
I never understood a word she said
Maybe that's why we got along so well
I don't know baby, it's crazy
Come on baby
[Verse 4]
It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving
Such a pleasant stay, I must say
So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you
At 157 Riverside Avenue, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whoo, come on, babe
That’s right, aw yeah
Move over, honey
