Downtown

(So I don't go downtown anymore)

You been hanging under neon lights
You've been kicking it with all my friends
I don't know how you sleep at night
But, baby girl, you know it never made sense
I was sipping something strong when I saw you
Now every time I see a seven wanna call you
I just wish this town would close that red door

'Cause we were under them Broadway lights
When I thought you and I would stay together, last forever
Until the end of time
I used to love them beat up floors
'Til you walked out that door
I'd be torn up if I saw you, baby
So I don't go downtown anymore

So I don't go downtown anymore
(If I could get rid of every damn memory)
(Burn the book with the chapter of you and me)

So now I give my time to this six string
Hoping maybe it could set me free
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
You find me in the cut of Tennessee
'Cause every time I think it's over, it's not over yet
I ain't even found a little bit of closure yet
My buddy's calling asking if I'm finally over it
But I just can't

Get over them Broadway lights
When I thought you and I would stay together, last forever
Until the end of time
I used to love them beat up floors
'Til you walked out that door
I'd be torn up if I saw you, baby
So I don't go downtown anymore

If I could get rid of every damn memory
Burn the book with the chapter of you and me
It wouldn't be so hard in the neon dark
Trying to fight what might have got the best of me

Under them Broadway lights
Where I thought you and I would stay together, last forever
Until the end of time
I loved them beat up floors
'Til you walked out that door
Can't give you up but I know one things for sure
I'd be torn up if I saw you, baby
So I don't go downtown anymore

(If I could get rid of every damn memory)
(Burn the book with the chapter of you and me)
(It wouldn't be so hard in the neon dark)
(Trying to fight what might have got the best of me)
