J. Cale Music Title/Track: Downtown L.A. Theme ID: 440 Album: N/A Downtown l.a. is a depressing place You can see young men with deep lines in their face They could all be something if somebody cared But nobody knows theyre even down there Old woman walking with a sack on her back Picking up the garbage people put out back Men down there trying to walk the line Trading their soul for a bottle of wine In the inner city it aint no good Its a long, long way from hollywood Bad kind of people got a hold of the street They got something that the poor people need At two in the morning they bust your head Fat chance walking youll end up dead It the law of the jungle with a gun and a knife If you stay long enough you lose your life Man down there he couldnt be lying He was sleeping in the street and he couldnt keep from crying Said hed been there for twenty one years Through the bars and the brawls and the blues and the tears Prop up the front the back falls down All around the canyons of l.a. town When he asked me for a dollar I looked him in his face Downtown l.a. is a depressing place Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Hard Love, Hard Times, Hey Baby, Hold On, Hold On Baby, Humdinger, I Got The Same Old Blues, Id Like To Love You Baby, Ill Be There (If You Ever Want Me), Ill Kiss the World Goodbye, Ill Make Love To You, Im A Gypsy Man, If I Had A Rocket, If You Leave Her, If Youre Ever in Oklahoma, Its Hard To Tell, Jailer, Katy Kool Lady, Lady Luck, Lean On Me, Lies, Like You Used To, Livin Here Too, Lonesome Train, Long Way Home, Losers, Lou-Easy-Ann, Louisiana Women, Love Has Been Gone, Low Down, Low Rider, Magnolia, Mama Dont, Miss Ol St. Louie, Mississippi River, Mo Jo, Mona, Money Talks, New Orleans, No Time, Nobody But You, Nobody Knows, Nowhere To Run, Old Blue, One Step Ahead Of The Blues, Pack My Jack, Passion, People Lie, Perfect Woman, Playing In The Street, Other J.
