Stacey Earle - Downtown lyrics

(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
