Downtown’s dead without you Girls walk by and friends say hi Then Friday night it might as well be just another Tuesday night without you As long as you’re still in my head There ain’t a way that I can paint a ghost town red Downtown’s dead, downtown’s

Wanderlust will carry us on I'm speeding out of reach Oh, you're the one I had to meet I never wanted to go home There was nothing there for me In a high rise on my own Will there ever be a place for you and me I've been sleepwalking Through the railway

Oh, my my, that's just the way we do it Cut off Levi's and kickin' country music Miles from nowhere, there ain't no city limits And that's where you're gonna find us havin' a small town big time Hangin' out at the old park pool Right after Sunday school

'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama When you're not around I got whiskey to keep me warm when the sun goes down And this God forsaken honky tonk ain't likely to run out So won't you come on home and save me Stop me before I drown And there's women in this

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining Believe me even though you can't quite make it out You may not see the silver lining But there's a big blue sky waiting right behind the clouds When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down Seems like those dark

Where did it go? Where did it go so wrong? I can't take it Motherfuckers more than a little complacent Just sit the fuck down, pay attention There's too much noise, for a second listen You're all so fucking outrageous So you're all stars now? So you're

When the lights go down in the city And the sun shines on the bay I want to be there in my city So you think you're lonely Well my friend I'm lonely too I want to get back to my city by the bay It's sad, oh there's been mornings Out on the road without

Downtown’s dead without you Girls walk by and friends say hi Then Friday night it might as well be just another Tuesday night without you As long as you’re still in my head There ain’t a way that I can paint a ghost town red Downtown’s dead, downtown’s

So lay me down In that open field out on the edge of town And know my soul is where my mama always prayed that it would go If you're reading this, I'm already home If you're reading this My mama's sitting there Looks like I only got a one-way ticket over
