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

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

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

Down on Mainstreet

Down on Mainstreet

Down on Mainstreet

Down on Mainstreet
