I'm out for a ride, the ride of my life
rolling Northbound Highway 99
I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been
I tell you now that suits me just fine
Yeah, my truck broke down bout a mile out of town
the night was blacker than the ace of spades
and who would have known the first time on my own
that this is what would happen to me, yeah
Now I'm stuck here alone, and I don't feel at home
in the middle of this one horse town,
yeah, I'm feeling as though I ought to get up and go
but something keeps me hanging around
then I played my guitar for the folks in the bar
and crooned some of my Dylan tunes
and then she walked by, you know she gave me the eye
I knew right then it wouldnt be long, yeah
Going Downtown (Backup) going downtown
gonna feel my way around going downtown
yeah, I'm going downtown
I've got to get my head screwed on tight, yeah
When she came at me, I fell down on my knees
I prayed that this would never end
yeah, I'm feeling alright you know it's a friday night
I wonder what tomorrow will bring, yeah
Going downtown (Backup) going downtown
like a wolf on the prowl wolf on the prowl
yeah, I'm going downtown
I've got to make up for some lost time, yeah
Going downtown (Backup) going downtown
to the sweet spot I've found going downtown
yeah, she's taking me down
I think I'll stay here one more night, yeah
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
