Downtown Lyrics by Jackson Browne

Lawyers in Love

0

[Verse 1]
Downtown people gotta work a little harder
Working downtown
Downtown they got to think a little quicker
'Cause they're downtown
Downtown, the breaks are harder
Downtown, the thieves are smarter

[Verse 2]
I've got this place I'm renting
It cost me next to nothing downtown
Nobody comes around
Telling me I gotta turn the sound down
Broadway—down on the corner
The bible screamer, the plasma donor
Buses, car horns, ghetto blasters—
The shouts and cries of the human disasters
It's all music, it's all music downtown
It's all music, it's all music

[Chorus]
I feel alright when I'm downtown
My feet are light when I'm downtown
I cast my hopes on the human tide
I place my bet and let it ride
I'm open wide when I'm downtown

[Verse 3]
Downtown there's every kind of people
Walkin' round downtown
Downtown there's every language
Every human sound downtown
Downtown, the nights are longer
Downtown, the sights are stronger
Downtown wandering all around downtown
It's all music

[Bridge]
Eight blocks south of city hall
The rats run free and the winos crawl
Darkness falls on the vast machine
Where the future stalks the American dream

[Chorus]
I feel alright when I'm downtown
My head feels light when I'm downtown
It's all in sight when I'm downtown
I feel alright when I'm downtown
