Hidalgo Street Lyrics & Chords By Larry Joe Taylor

White shade of blue up in the heaven
Five shades of blue out on the sea
I always heard there were seven
I never know what to believe

When the ferry crossed the Mercy
Was it this hard to stay on track
Just cut the lines, we're in a hurry
This point on, no looking back

As sunset drapes the tiny island
I never thought we'd go this far
Not in the street, you must be high man
I want the table by the bar

'Cause it's like somethin's gonna happen
It's like somethin's goin’ down
Guys are in the street and rappin'
Somethin' happenin' in this town

There's guitars and there's percussion
Some settin' up some buggin' out
They're pointin' fingers and discussin'
Somethin' happenin' there's no doubt

(Chorus)
It's 10:30 on Hidalgo Street
You can't sit now, get on your feet
Hear the rhythm and you feel the heat
It's 10:30 on Hidalgo Street
It's 10:30 on Hidalgo Street
Just let go you've got to serve the beat
You fall in love with everyone you meet
When it's 10:30 on Hidalgo Street
Hidalgo Street
Hidalgo Street

Just sit back and watch it bubble
Yeah it's shiftin' into gear
It's so loud, but it's so subtle
Somethin' happenin' around here

What once was still now starts to shuffle
What once was calm now starts to rise
If you had feathers they'd be ruffled
Man I think I know these guys

(Chorus)

Lafitte's black dogs of San Leon
Haunt the streets they're on the move
When the night fades into neon
Reveals the seventh shade of blue

(Chorus)
