Flash And The Pan - Downtown Too Long lyrics

Another Friday night and broke Another Friday night on Broadway The canyons shimmer in the smoke The dudes are looking in a bad way There's money mountains on the sidewalk It's pouring out of limousines And it's the lure of sitting pretty On a life of golden dreams There's a world for the humble and happy And a world for the hard and the strong I can take it, I can make it There's a whole world out there And I want my share I've been downtown too long Another night of playing bars Familiar faces at the tables The same old second hand cigars The girls wear imitation sables And out there there's the real thing Cruising down the avenue While I'm stuck here with my guitar And I sing the blues to you And it's hard to be humble and happy And you know that you've got to be strong I can take it, yeah I can make it There's a whole world out there And I want my share I've been downtown too long I've been hanging around waiting for the big one To come sailing through the door And I won't be waiting around anymore No more And out there there's the real thing Cruising down the avenue And if it's ever gonna happen Then it's way long overdue And it's hard to be humble and happy When there's a world for the hard and the strong I can make it, yeah I can take it There's a whole world out there and I want my share I've been downtown too long I've been hanging around waiting for the big one To come walking through the door But I won't be waiting around anymore No more.
