Atlantic Avenue Songtext
von Average White Band

Here I am, strolling down Atlantic Avenue
With the sunlight in my eyes
Here I am, and there′s nothing I would rather do
When I want some peace of mind
I leave the smoke of Rio behind, as the evening starts to fly
I want to feel the ocean breeze, where the mountains kiss the sky

So come on, down Atlantic Avenue
Let the samba take a'hold of you
′Cause I know there is no place like the Avenue
When the music gets a'hold of you

Drive along to Ipanema, there's always time to spare
Forget the troubles of the world, when they get too much to bear
Won′t you please come on down Atlantic Avenue? Na na na na na na


Flying down to Rio
Never thought I would be, walking by the ocean
Here today, no
Pretty soon I′ve got to leave, but I know my heart will stay, ooh
Atlantic Avenue

Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue
With the sunlight in my eyes (oh)
Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do
When I want some peace of mind (some peace of mind)

So come on, down Atlantic Avenue
Let the samba take a′hold of you
'Cause I know that there′s no place like the Avenue
When the music gets a'hold of you

Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue
With the sunlight in my eyes
Here I am, and there′s nothing I would rather do
When I want some peace of mind (I want some peace of mind)

So come on, down Atlantic Avenue
Let the samba take a'hold of you
