Stacey Earle - Downtown lyrics

rate me

(Mark Stuart, Stacey Earle)

Grow up downtown

Grew up wise

Know it well

Lived there all your life

Know it like

Your own backyard

Never have to leave

To get that far

Her warm glow surrounds

Cradling her town

Holding her upright

Up come the lights

Head up Broad

Be on time

You can almost taste it

A real good find

Walk right into

A brand New Year

Horns a blowin'

Music to your ear

She will never sleep

In earning all her keep

Oh but when she truly shines

Up come the lights

Every day she's brings them in

Then sends them back

Those who stay, end of day

Give her back her&

Downtown, late at night

Downtown, moves just right

Downtown, where lovers go

Downtown, finding true hearts with soul

While city folk lie fast asleep

A lonesome one still walks the streets

But that's when it all goes down

Up come the lights
