Mainstreet Lyrics

Mainstreet lyrics

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
