Get Downtown Lyrics


Drive-by Truckers Get Downtown


Kim said Jimmy you better get yourself up off of that
raggedy couch
I'm too pretty to work and I'm tired of you uglying up
my house
Jimmy said Baby the guys at the top are doing bad as
the guys on the street
Kim said the guys at the top ain't about to be paying
alimony to me

Get downtown
see what you can find
put your face in someone's that ain't mine
looks like the unemployment blues
are wearing out your house shoes
Baby left when your boots came untied

Jimmy said baby ain't you seen the news its as far as
the eyes can see
Foreigners are coming in and doing our jobs for half of
what they would've paid me
You mean half of what you would've made for something
you've never done
Sounds like the bright side to all this Jimmy is you're
asking price went up
Now get downtown

Jimmy said baby if I work for you're daddy its worse
than being his son
Kim didn't like what he said one bit and it didn't
surprise him none
She said my daddy took good enough care of my mama she
hardly had to say a thing
Jimmy said that's part of what's wrong Kim said don't
you say another damn thing
Just get downtown
