Ill Go On Downtown by Robert Earl Keen Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1988

[Verse 1]
I've got clothes in my closet, new shoes to wear
All that I've wanted, I've more than my share
And the woman who loves me is more than a dream
So why am I feeling so low down and mean?

[Verse 2]
I gave up on smoking two years ago
And I ain't been drinking for a month now or so
And I tell everybody I've nothin' to hide
While I keep the devil locked deep down inside

[Chorus]
But tonight I'll be out there a runnin' around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

[Verse 3]
We used to get crazy and jump in our cars
Burn up the highways and close down the bars
But now we're all married and some moved away
And when we get together there's nothing to say
[Chorus]
But tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

[Verse 4]
The lights are all down and the moon's hangin' high
The stars are all shining way up in the sky
If anyone's asking where I'll be found
It's home in the morning, but tonight I'm downtown

[Chorus]
Tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

Tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
