Downtown Tonight Lyrics


Dodging the blues, but the blues were gaining fast
Riding the news, knowing news just doesn't last
Heaven come seven with the rolling of the bones
Ah, but winning never feels like going homeHe's thick at the bottom, thin at the top
Like a bottle shaken with a cork that doesn't pop
Pretending and descending to the land of woe
Oh, life's not what you think, it's what you knowChorus:
So take it downtown tonight
And when nobody's looking you can slip it out of sight
Since you're devil bound, it's hell downtown tonight
He's beard, bone and gristle, the rest is mostly mule
He's running from the whistles, he's running as a rule
Pretending and descending to the land of woe
Oh, when you give your hand to fate, she don't let go(Chorus)
Dodging the blues, but the blues were gaining fast
Riding the news, knowing news just doesn't last
Heaven come seven with the rolling of the bones
Oh, life's not what you think, it's what you know

Oh, when you give your hand to fate, she don't let go

John Gorka (born in July 1958) is an American contemporary folk musician. In 1991, Rolling Stone magazine called him "the pre-eminent male singer-songwriter of what has been dubbed the New Folk Movement. Gorka was born in Edison, New Jersey. He received his first guitar as a Christmas gift, though Gorka alleges that his older brother stole it from him shortly thereafter. He eventually learned, instead, to play the banjo, and began performing in a folk music group at his church.
