Downtown Lights

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Well, he left for the stars on the streets
With six strings
A song in his head
And three chords in his heart
Well, they all gave him six months at most
He'd be right back
Right back at home

[Chorus]
But his name's in the marquis lights
Tonight, Hollywood
The kid with a one-track mind
Born to lose
Rock bottom couldn't hold him
To his fate's own makin'
He stands alone with a bottle
Far, far from home

[Bridge]
Ten years later he wakes up
There's a new face on TV
He's got a job as an extra
And a guitar with two strings
Anything he's ever wanted
He has eluded in the end
But he ain't done
No, he ain't done

[Verse 2]
Well, he left for the stars on the streets
For home
He'd need some time on his own
But he'd never forget those same three chords
He'll be back, just like before

[Chorus]
But his name's in the marquis lights
Tonight, Hollywood
The kid with a one-track mind
Born to lose
Rock bottom couldn't hold him
To his fate's own makin'
He stands alone with a bottle
Far, far from home
