Testo Downtown - Greg Brown
Testo della canzone Downtown (Greg Brown), tratta dall'album One Night
Yes I could stay home, I could read a book or two
I could try to get a little bit better at some of the bad things that I do
but the night is young. So I'm out for a little while
I'm gonna put on my hat and coat and pants and boots and my smile.
'N' I'm gonna go downtown tonight
All around the town,
checkin' out all the sights.
I'll be back in the morning
Feelin' bad or good
Gonna do what I want and I ain't gonna what I should.
Well, now, if you ever checked it out you know jus' what I mean
There's always a few surprises in that same old scene
You might meet some fella who can really blow the horn
Make you glad for a change you done got born.
Don't you wanna go downtown tonight?
Uptown, downtown, all aroun' the town,
checkin' out all the little sights.
So we'll be back in the mornin'
Feelin' bad or good
I do what I want and I don't do what I should.
Some of the people that I meet they say they love the mountains best
When I look around in the city I jus' see one big wilderness
Squirrels are writin' tickets, dolphins drivin' cars
Globefish blowin' tubas, grizzly bears in the bars
'N' I gonna go downtown tonight
I'm gonna go all aroun' the town
I'm gonna check out all the sights
I'll be back in the mornin'
Feelin' bad or good
I do what I want and I don't do what I should.
Yeah, oh but I might get lucky, I might run into my friend Jane
Walk to her apartment in the sooty city rain
Put on a little record, gonna be so long and tall
I'm a-gonna be the wallpaper, Jane'gonna be the wall
'N' I wanna go downtown tonight
I wanna go all aroun' the town
Wanna check out all the sights.
I'll be back in the mornin'
Feelin' bad or good
Gonna do what I want and I don't do what I should.
Ain't you ever known that magic hour just before the dawn
When the morning is still sleepy but the night is not yet gone?
And you're walking home from some little joint with somebody you love
With the moon and the stars and the bells and the birds all ring-a ding-a
dong-a up above?
Don't you wanna go downtown, tonight?
Let's go downtown tonight
Let's go all aroun' the town
Let's go check out all the sights
An' we be back in the mornin'
Feelin' bad or good
I do what I want and I don't do what I should.
