I'll Go On Downtown

(album: The Live Album - 1988)

I've got clothes in my closet and new shoes to wear
And all that I wanted are more than my share
And the woman who loves me she's more than a dream
So why am I feeling so low down and mean?

Well I gave up on smoking two years ago
And I ain't been drinking for a month now or so
And I tell everybody that I've nothing to hide
While I keep the devil locked deep down inside

And tonight I'll be out there a running around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleeping so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

We used to get crazy and jump in our cars
We'd burn up the highways and we'd close down the bars
But now we're all married and some moved away
And we get together there's nothing to say

And tonight I'll be out there a running around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleeping so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

The lights are all down and the moon's hanging high
And the stars are all shining way up in the sky
And if anyone's asking where I'll be found
It's home in the morning but tonight I'm downtown

And tonight I'll be out there a running around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleeping so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
And tonight I'll be out there a running around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleeping so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
