Flash And The Pan - Dowtown Too Long Şarkı Sözleri

Another Friday night and broke
Another Friday night on Broadway
The canyons shimmer in the smoke
The dudes are looking in a bad way
There's money mountains on the sidewalk
It's pouring out of limousines
And it's the lure of sitting pretty
On a life of golden dreams

There's a world for the humble and happy
And a world for the hard and the strong
I can take it, I can make it
There's a whole world out there
And I want my share
I've been downtown too long

Another night of playing bars
Familiar faces at the tables
The same old second hand cigars
The girls wear imitation sables
And out there there's the real thing
Cruising down the avenue
While I'm stuck here with my guitar
And I sing the blues to you

And it's hard to be humble and happy
And you know that you've got to be strong
I can take it, yeah I can make it
There's a whole world out there
And I want my share
I've been downtown too long

I've been hanging around waiting for the big one
To come sailing through the door
And I won't be waiting around anymore
No more

And out there there's the real thing
Cruising down the avenue
And if it's ever gonna happen
Then it's way long overdue

And it's hard to be humble and happy
When there's a world for the hard and the strong
I can make it, yeah I can take it
There's a whole world out there and I want my share
I've been downtown too long

I've been hanging around waiting for the big one
To come walking through the door
But I won't be waiting around anymore
No more
