I take the
freeway every time
But I know that the side streets
could offer a shortcut I need
And I stay inside the lines
Watching the traffic crew towards exit 23
That drops me off downtown
I've been spending more
of my time downtown
I keep a piece of my heart
above a boulevard
A boulevard downtown
I speed through the yellow lights,
skyscrapers and history, sidewalks and poverty.
I leave my car outside, there's somebody waiting for me,
she lives next to a factory, a factory downtown.
I've been spending more of my time downtown I
keep a piece of my heart above a boulevard
A boulevard downtown
Someone I wanna be with
Makes it worth the trip
It's worth the gas I burn,
the parking tickets I burn
ATM fees to pay,
to pay for expensive drinks
And my favorite part of town
Sits there until the place shuts down
Back on the freeway late at night,
I've got to be up early, I've got to be getting to
sleep.
I have to leave the downtown,
I've been spending more of my time downtown.
I keep a piece of my heart above a boulevard,
a boulevard downtown.
I've been spending more
of my time downtown.
I keep a piece of my heart above a boulevard,
a boulevard downtown.
