Downbeat Lyrics by Ben Chapman

Downbeat

2024

[Verse 1]
Well, this place gets scary after dark
Buying cocaine in the parking lot
It's a little too calm before the storm
Yeah, I'm breaking a sweat and it ain't even warm

[Pre-Chorus]
Because I dodged another bullet and a wicked stare
From the girl next door with the platinum hair
When you're up this high, it's a long way down
If I keep on flying, I won't hit the ground
And I'll take it, yeah, I'll take it

[Chorus]
'Cause when the downbeat comes, everything's alright
Tryna make the best of another night
You never know what might ever come along
You might get lucky and sing her favorite song
Two cousins in the corner 'bout to get in a fight
Over something 'bout nothing they can't get by
When the downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright, alright, yeah

[Verse 2]
Half-drunk, half-stoned, half-keeping-my-cool
Lotta small town trouble with something to prove
I can't speed it up and I can't play too slow
Gotta find the right groove with just enough soul

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the word around here sure travels fast
When the lights on you and your checkered past
I'm a king without a crown in this shotgun shack
Singing what they want gotta make 'em come back
And I'll take it, yeah, I'll take it

[Chorus]
'Cause when the downbeat comes, everything's alright
Tryna make the best of another night
You never know what might ever come along
You might get lucky and sing her favorite song
Two cousins in the corner 'bout to get in a fight
Over something 'bout nothing they can't get by
Downbeat comes, everything's alright
When the downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Yeah, I dodged another bullet and a jilted stare
From the girl next door with the platinum hair
When the downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright

[Outro]
Everything's alright
Everything's alright
Everything's alright
