Stephen Ray Brown - Downtown Austin 1992

Downtown Austin
Nineteen Ninety-Two
It's not like it is now
But maybe that was never true

In the flesh she walked
With more than a little grace
And more than a few men
Would've found hers an attractive face

She said I don't trust almost anyone
But there's something about you
You look like a man who can get things done

She said I've never seen his face
But there some things a woman knows
I don't get carried away
By lonesome shadows or fading echoes

The way some people walk
You can tell all about them right away
They don't have to talk
You can hear everything they never say

She said I used to be beautiful
But the wind turns cold
I don't recommend growing older

What's the job, Mrs. Johnson?
I can start right away
Glad to help, Mrs. Johnson
I get two hundred bucks a day

At this point in time
Nothing made any sense
They had begun the search
For relevant evidence

When they found her
She lay face down on the floor
They questioned Jack about the work
She had hired him for

She said I don't trust almost anyone
But there something about you
You look like a man who can get things done

What's the job, Mrs. Johnson?
I can start right away
Glad to help, Mrs. Johnson
I get two hundred bucks a day
I get two hundred bucks a day
