Michael Johnson - Mr. Arthur's Place (Slide With Me Julia) Lyrics
Mr. Arthur's place is set about a mile just off the interstate highwayAnd it's kinda hard to get to so you really gotta know where to goAnd it's there you'll hear the music they played before the children were childrenHow the sound and the spirit sets you swinging as you step through the doorAnd they show you to a table, you have a drink or twoYou ask her if she wants to dance, she says it's up to youSo you take her by the hand and you lead her to the edge of the dance floorAnd she whispers to you, "Honey I'm afraid my gown's a little too long"You get into the rhythm and remember what it was that you came forYou forget the thirty years that have happened since they played you that songAnd as you twirl around the room, you no longer feel a foolIt's just the way it used to be when she was your girl at schoolSlide with me, JuliaI can lead if you will follow throughGlide with me, JuliaTo see the simple pleasure we once knewJust to see the simple pleasure we once knewYou've had one terrific evening and you tell her as you drive down the highwayShe says, "Yes I really loved it and you know we gotta go there again"But you get that empty feeling as you pull the car back into your drivewayYou know exactly where you are but you're not too sure where you've beenAs you turn out the bedroom light, you have a word or twoYou ask her if she wants to sleep, she says it's up to youSlide with me, JuliaI can lead if you will follow throughGlide with me, JuliaTo see the simple pleasure we once knewJust to see the simple pleasure we once knew
