Jackson Browne - Downtown Lyrics
Downtown people gotta work a little harder working downtownDowntown they got to think a little quicker cause theyre downtownDowntown the breaks are harderDowntown the thieves are smarterIve got this place Im rentingIt cost me next to nothing downtownNobody comes around telling me I gotta turn the sound downBroadway -- down on the cornerThe Bible screamer, the plasma donorBuses, carhorns, ghetto blastersThe shouts and cries of the human disastersIts all musicIts all musicDowntownIts all musicIts all musicI feel alright when Im downtownMy feet are light when Im downtownI cast my hopes on the human tideI place my bet and let it rideIm open wide when Im downtownDowntown theres every kind of people walkin round downtownDowntown theres every language, every human sound downtownDowntown the nights are longerDowntown the sights are strongerDowntown wandering all around downtownIts all musicEight blocks south of city hallThe rats run free and the winos crawlDarkness falls on the vast machineWhere the future stalks the american dreamI feel alright when Im downtownMy head feels light when Im downtownIts all in sight when Im downtownI feel alright when Im downtown
