Jim Nelson - The Streets Are Empty
Been stuck inside the house for weeksI can't even go to town
This same-old same-old life we're livin'
Has really got me down
Lord, I miss my friends and family
All the things we used to do
I miss my band, I miss the fans
I miss my momma too
Look outside, the streets are empty
Nobody wants to hang around
The city lights are dark and cold now
Nobody wants to go downtown
There's a little wooden bandshell
Over in the city park
The stage is still and silent
And the lights have all gone dark
Now the music is just a memory
I can't help but curse the day
Somebody came and pulled the plug
And they took it all away
Look outside, the streets are empty
Nobody wants to hang around
The city lights are dark and cold now
Nobody wants to go downtown
Now, the days are growing longer
I know summer's comin' on
I'm gonna grab an ice cold beer can
I'm gonna sing a little song
There's a little place on Main Street
It isn't very far
I'm gonna open up that dusty case
And pick on this guitar
Look outside, the streets are empty
Nobody wants to hang around
The city lights are dark and cold now
Nobody wants to go downtown
Nobody wants to go downtown
Nobody wants to go downtown
