Lyrics
I've been down the avenue I've been walking on a wire
I've been chasing ghosts of you that they call the Tennessee Fire
It's been getting late and I got no where to turn
Though I may go down in flames but I ain't gonna get burned
Because you won't see me out on the town
I'll be sitting here when the lights go down
I've been down the boulevard I've been walking on a line
I've been chasing ghosts of you that I never seem to find
I've been out all night I've been burning at both ends
I've been trying to make things right but they just go wrong again
Because you won't see me out on the town
I'll be sitting here when the lights go down
There used to be a hundred ways
that I could put my arms around your waist
But now you won't see me
Because you won't see me out on the town
I'll be sitting here when the lights go down
