Lyrics
Main Street

I remember standing
On the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely
Dancer in a little club
downtown
I loved to watch her
Do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights
She filled my sleep
Her body softly
Swaying to that smoky beat
Down on mainstreet
In the pool halls
The hustlers and the losers
I used to watch 'em
Through the glass
Well I'd stand outside
At closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies
She looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone
Down that empty street
Down on mainstreet
And sometimes even now
When I'm feeling lonely
And beat
I drift back in time and
I find my feet
Down on mainstreet
Down on mainstreet
