Downtown Lyrics by Matthew Ebel

Goodbye Planet Earth

0

Sally was a silver-spoon Sunday School girl
She grew up in the heart of an air-conditioned Wal*Mart world
Her daddy had a mansion, a suburbian expansionist home
But even country girls still want to roam ’cause
The bright lights of the city at night
Will rain down like a curse on a small town
The music’s swinging and bringing the pretty girls
So the fellas will get up and get out and get on the train
Going downtown
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
She set her sights on the lights and the action of the shows
But Sally never made it to the road
He drives a Lex, but he’s looking for sex
Cheap whiskey and a bag full of happiness
He’ll suck you in with a sinister grin, a
Stick pin, and a spin that you’re gonna win if you
Go downtown
(Instrumental)
Your fishnets look a mess, but baby
You better sell or your daddy going to raise hell
He gives you money, but honey your daddy don’t give a
Damn unless you got a Johnny and you’re
Going downtown
