Go on Downtown Songtext
von Gillian Welch

Got clothes in my closet, new shoes to wear
Got all that I wanted and more than my share
The man who loves me is more than a dream
So why am I feeling so lowdown and mean?

I gave up on smoking two years ago
And I ain′t been drinking for a month now or so
I tell everybody, nothing to hide
While I keep the Devil locked deep down inside

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


We used to get crazy, jumping off cars
Burned up the highway, closed down the bars
Now we're all married, some moved away
And when we get together, there′s nothing to say

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

The sun is long down, moon's hangin′ high
Stars are a-shining way up in the sky
If anyone is asking where I'll be found
Well, it′s home in the morning
But tonight, I'm downtown

Yeah, tonight I'll be out there running around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbours are sleeping so sound
Tonight I′ll slip off and I′ll go on downtown

Yeah, tonight I'll slip off and I′ll go on downtown
