Lyrics:

Walkin` down Royal Street
A street singer symphony
Ain`t been the hardest way
Ain`t had the greatest day
Walkin` past memories

And the pain that she gave to me
Don`t you know I`m tryin` to be the bigger man
I just wanna feel the spirit
I just wanna feel the spirit
I just wanna feel the spirit

Washin` over me
Me and Madame Laveau
Seen some people come and go
Seen a couple storm clouds pass
Seen a couple spells been cast
People trippin` down cobblestones
Marching bands and trombones
Everybody`s out here waitin` on the second line

And I`m just fine
I just wanna feel the spirit
I just wanna feel the spirit
I just wanna feel the spirit
Washin` over me

Storm clouds out up ahead
Singin` songs of praise to raise the dead
I got a heart that was born to be
Broken down and wild 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 pretty face
Walkin` down a railroad track
He aint never comin` back
Said mama I don`t know if I`m every comin` home again

But until then
I just wanna feel the spirit
I just wanna feel the spirit
I just wanna feel the spirit
Washin` over me
