Trouble Downtown

Out on highway number nine
Three cars pull up from behind
Passing by and slowing down
On the black top road at the edge of town
Trouble Downtown

Flashlight shining in her face
She wound up in the wrong place
They said lay down and she obeyed
Nowhere to run and too afraid
Trouble Downtown

Banker Bob was running wild
Ha a lonely wife and an only child
He wound up with a broken back
From a jealous man with a baseball bat
Trouble Downtown

Ten years at the tannery,
Just another man now they don't need
He filled his pockets full of shells
Blew some windows out to raise some Hell
Trouble Downtown

The cruisers came lights flashing blue
The gunned him down their aim was true
The answere why went to the grave
When his life could not be saved
Trouble Downtown

Cheating on the one he loved
It was poison like a pusher's drug
One day he said this can't go on
She said then we'll die as one
Trouble Downtown

Pulled the pistol from her purse
Tears in her eyes she made a curse
She left this world without a friend
His kids never saw him again
Trouble Downtown
Trouble Downtown.
