Down on Washington Lyrics


Well you’re standing there
You Say life ain’t fair
Why don’t ya tell me something that I don’t know
Oh and man I’m sunk
Red faced and drunk
But there’s a reason I stayed up all night and begged you not to go
(Chorus)
Here I fear we've found ourselves a sticky situation.
It's an awkward occupation disregarding right from wrong.
And you were down on Washington, dancing like the devil.
Oh and I am just a fool, but I have loved you all along
Well the everyday, it gets in the way
Of all the things, that we could be
Don’t ya understand, well I’m an honest man
But I would steal you in a heartbeat if the choice were up to me

(Chorus)
Well what happens little baby when I blow this town and ain’t nobody like you
Got a brand new high and lonesome, It’s a bad dream comin’ true.
Oh what’s a poor boy to do
(Chorus)
Yea well I am just a fool, but I have loved you all along.

The Turnpike Troubadours, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised. It combines Folk, Country, Cajun, and Bluegrass with stories of longing, humor, tragedy, and general life in rural America.
