Tekster: Robert Earl Keen. I'll Go on Downtown.

Got clothes in my closet, new shoes to wear
All that I wanted are more than my share
The woman who loves me is more than a dream
So why am I feelin' so low down and mean?

I gave up on smokin' two years ago
And I ain't been drinkin' for a month now or so
And I tell everybody I've nothin' to hide
While I keep the Devil locked deep down inside

But tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

We used to get crazy and jump in our cars
Burn up the highways and close down the bars
And now we're all married and some moved away
And when we get together, there's nothin' to say

But tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

Lights are all down, the moon's hangin' high
The stars are all shinin' way up in the sky
If anyone's askin' where I'll be found
It's home in the mornin' but tonight I'm downtown

Tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

Tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
