Lady Antebellum - Downtown lyrics

rate me

Well, all the parties on the streets are talking

Stores front mannequins sleeping in lights

We used to smoke while we were jay-walkin'

Like it was your birthday, every other Saturday night

Knew the bands so we never paid our cover

Wrote our names on the bathroom tiles

We never dressed to impress all the others

They would let us in on a laid back kind of style

But boy you know it’s been, a while

[Chorus]

And I don’t know why you don’t take me downtown

Like you got anywhere better to be

You talk it up and give me the go round round

Like a good time tease

I’m only counting on your cancellation

When I should be counting on you out my door

Did you forget about, how we ran around

I don’t know why you don’t take me downtown anymore

Anymore

I got some platforms sitting in the corner

They wanna stroll on the city sidewalk

I got a dress that will show a little un-uh

But you ain’t getting Un-uh if you don’t come pick me up

Show me off, you might be tired, but I’m not

[Chorus]

And I don’t know why you don’t take me downtown

Like you got anywhere better to be

Talk it up and give me the go round round

Like a good time tease

I’m only counting on your cancellation

When I should be counting on you out my door

Did you forget about, how we ran around

I don’t know why you don’t take me downtown anymore

Anymore

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]

And I don’t know why you don’t take me downtown

Like you got anywhere better to be

You Talk it up and give me the go round round

Like a good time tee

I’m only counting on your cancellation

When I should be counting on you out my door

Did you forget about, how we ran around

I don’t know why you don’t take me downtown anymore

Anymore

I just don’t get it.
