Downtown Lyrics - Singles - Earle Stacey

(Mark Stuart, Stacey Earle) 

Grow up downtown 

Grew up wise 

Know it well 

Lived there all your life 

Know it like 

Your own backyard 

Never have to leave 

To get that far 

Her warm glow surrounds 

Cradling her town 

Holding her upright 

Up come the lights 

Head up Broad 

Be on time 

You can almost taste it 

A real good find 

Walk right into 

A brand New Year 

Horns a blowin' 

Music to your ear 

She will never sleep 

In earning all her keep 

Oh but when she truly shines 

Up come the lights 

Every day she's brings them in 

Then sends them back 

Those who stay, end of day 

Give her back her& 

Downtown, late at night 

Downtown, moves just right 

Downtown, where lovers go 

Downtown, finding true hearts with soul 

While city folk lie fast asleep 

A lonesome one still walks the streets 

But that's when it all goes down 

Up come the lights
