Earle Downtown Lyrics

Stacey Earle Earle Downtown

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
