I remember standin on the corner at midnight |
|
Tryin to get my courage up |
|
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown |
|
Loved to watch her do her stuff |
|
Through the long lonely nights |
|
She filled my sleep |
|
Her body softly swayin |
|
To that smokey beat |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
And the poolhalls, the hustlers, and the losers |
|
Used to watch em through the glass |
|
Well I'd stand outside at closin time |
|
Just to watch her walk on past |
|
Unlike all the other ladies |
|
She looked so young and sweet |
|
As she made her alone down that empty street |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
OoooohSometimes even now, when |
|
I'm feelin lonely and beat |
|
I drift back in time and |
|
I find my feet |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
Down on mainstreet |
|
Down on mainstreet |
