J. J. Cale - Downtown L. A. Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Downtown l.a. is a depressing place
  • You can see young men with deep lines in their face
  • They could all be something if somebody cared
  • But nobody knows theyre even down there
  • Old woman walking with a sack on her back
  • Picking up the garbage people put out back
  • Men down there trying to walk the line
  • Trading their soul for a bottle of wine
  • In the inner city it aint no good
  • Its a long, long way from hollywood
  • Bad kind of people got a hold of the street
  • They got something that the poor people need
  • At two in the morning they bust your head
  • Fat chance walking youll end up dead
  • It the law of the jungle with a gun and a knife
  • If you stay long enough you lose your life
  • Man down there he couldnt be lying
  • He was sleeping in the street and he couldnt keep from crying
  • Said hed been there for twenty one years
  • Through the bars and the brawls and the blues and the tears
  • Prop up the front the back falls down
  • All around the canyons of l.a. town
  • When he asked me for a dollar I looked him in his face
  • Downtown l.a. is a depressing place
