Greg Brown - Downtown Lyrics

Send "Downtown" ringtone to your cell

Well yes i could stay home read a book or two

Try to get a little bit better at some of these bad things i do.

But the night it is young; so am i for a while

So i put on my hat and coat and pants and my boots and smile.

And i'm a gonna go

[chorus:]

Downtown downtown tonight

I'm a gonna go all around the town check out all the sights

I will be back in the mornin' feelin' bad or good

Well i do what i want and i don't do what i should.

Well some people tell me that they love the mountains best

Far as i can see it's just one big wilderness.

I've seen squirrels writin' tickets dolphins drivin' cars

Blowfish blowin' tubas grizzly bears in the bars.

And i'm a gonna go

[chorus]

Well now if you've ever checked it out you know just what i mean

There's always a few surprises in that same old scene.

You might meet some fella who can really blow the horn

Make you glad for a change you done got born.

Don't ya wanna go

[chorus]

Yes i might get lucky run into my friend jane

Walk to her apartment in the shiny city rain.

Put on a little record; i get so long and tall

I wish i was the wallpaper; jane could be the wall.

And i'm a gonna go

[chorus]

Yeah and when those lights come up so soon so soon

We might sit and play some music in that trashed-out livin' room.

Keep playin' that music 'til the dawn's early light

Laugh like no one's business

Man ain't that the life.

And i'm a gonna go

[chorus]

Have you ever known the magic hour just before the dawn?

When the mornin' is still sleeping but the night is not yet gone.

And you're walkin' home from some little joint with someone you love

With the moon and stars and the bells and birds all ringin' up above.

Don't ya wanna go

[chorus]
