no downtown time
is around
when you hear the sound of the freeway
where the neon lights are flashing
you know like times square
eiffel tower in paris
cabo in san lucas
people everywhere
in all walks of life
pretty women & men still tryn' to be cool
when i'm on the street
there's no downtown time
women charging less than what their really worth
guys selling their dreams short
for playing only a few chords
downtown isn't the same
as living in my hometown
somewhere out where leaves fall free
there are children playing
in a giant playground
they seem to be making a lot of noise
but they got something above
that's innocent & pure
don't ever lose where you came from
remember you are a child
as long as you want to be
