Sally was a silver spoon, Sunday school girl
She grew up in the heart of an air-conditioned, wall-mart world
Her daddy had a mansion, a suburbian expansionist home
But even country girls still wanna roam
'Cause the bright lights of a city at night
Will rain down like a curse on a small town
The music swinging and bringing in the pretty girls
So the fellas will get up and get out and get on the train
Going downtown, oh
Take me downtown
Well, Sally couldn't see a future past the end of her nose
She set out for the stars with some pumps and a bag full of clothes
When she set her sights on the lights and the action of the shows
Huh! But Sally never made it to the road, now
He drives a Lex but he's looking for s**
With cheap whiskey and a bag full of happiness
He'll s** you in with a sinister grin
A stick-pin and a spin that you're gonna win
If you take me downtown, oh
Yeah, take me downtown
No, no, no, no, no, no
Take me downtown
Your fishnets look a mess but, baby,
You better sell or your daddy gonna raise Hell
He gives you money but, honey,
Your daddy don't give a damn unless you got a johnny
And you're going down...town, yeah
Oh, Lord, take me downtown
Oh, take me downtown
Yeah, take me downtown
Hah!
