lyrics

Downtown


Well I’m going to the motel, Feeling weightless and for free

Light me up that cigarette, and pass it over to me

I’m going downtown, Downtown for the day

Well I don’t have enough to shoot you, but I’ll sure take that away

(Second Verse)

Well that don’t stop, the body rock, the bang bang to the beat

Just a rabid dog, and his old claws, looking for something to eat

A twist of fate, how I relate, the good times from the bad

Now I’m doing time, for their own crime, and now its got me sad

But I don’t have enough to shoot ya, but I’ll sure take that away

Well you played enough to suit ya, Now your going to have to pay

I don’t have enough to shoot ya, But I’ll sure take that away

(Third Verse)

It’s coming down to their world, the only passage to be free

Making lots of money, getting paid to watch me

We’re going downtown, downtown for the day

Well we don’t have enough to shoot ya, but we’ll sure take that away

(Fourth Verse)

Well it cost more, the rich and poor, the famous to be free

The monies spent, on my own rent, growing flowers and the trees

America, America, the land of the free

Find yourself, a better life, and stop your watching me



I’m going downtown, downtown for the day

We don’t have enough to shoot ya, but we’ll sure take that away

Well we don’t have enough to shoot ya, but we’ll gladly make you pay

We don’t have enough to shoot ya, but we’ll sure take that away
