Sal Avenu - Downtown Lyrics

See that lady in the pretty dress, and the long hair, she's all smiles
She'd never say it to my face but, she don't want me downtown

The buses quit runnin', there ain't been a train, through these parts in years
And the cabs won't even stop for me either, they don't want me downtown

City hall said, that they wanna
Keep the folks like me
At least 200 feet away, even after I pay a fee

They say they wanna keep main st. pretty
Then they start paintin' the buildings grey
They closed all the stores where I was treated with a smile
No they don't want me downtown

But I'll sneak in when I know no one's lookin' and
Make a little noise
Most folks enjoy themselves anyway, and I can be gone before anyone can say
Hey, we don't want you downtown

Someone might smile at me, as I pass on my way
Someone might even say hello, but they don't ask me to stay

There's folks just like me down there all the time, lots of folks I know
But I guess there's something different about me 'cause
They don't want me downtown
They'll let me in, but they don't want me to stay
No they don't want me downtown
They don't want me to come down to the night
No they don't want me downtown
