Lyrics

GOING DOWNTOWN
copyright © John A Read 2000

Going downtown where the lights shine bright,
Gonna have some fun with the boys tonight.
Worked like a dog and the week is long,
Now I?m looking for a man and a drink and a song.
Pocket full of money and it?s making me itch,
?Cos I can?t get used to being this rich.
I?m gonna have a good time, there aint no doubt.
That I wont be home until the money runs out.

Going downtown on the early train,
Gonna be some time before I?m home again.
I?ll be singing when I get back home with the boys.
So don?t wait up and don?t be bothered by the noise.
I?m never gonna be a millionare,
Always have to sweat just to earn my share.
But I aint complaining, not tonight.
?Cos I?m going downtown where the lights are bright.

There?s a drink with my name on a bar somewhere.
There?s a good looking man without a girl.
There?s a good time somewhere waiting for me.
And I?m getting there as soon as I can.

Going downtown where the music?s hot.
Where the beer is cold but the men are not.
Looking for a good time, don?t care how.
But I want it fast and I want it now.
Going all the way and I don?t care where,
If it?s on tonight then you?ll see me there.
I got the money and the mood is right,
So I?m going downtown on a Friday night.

There?s a drink with my name on a bar somewhere.
There?s a good looking man without a girl.
There?s a good time somewhere waiting for me.
And I?m getting there as soon as I can.
