Last night I wandered punch drunk & enraptured
Out on the beltway where the business is done
As I lay on the asphalt 'neath the glow of light boxesI
heard somebody say #147#bet I know where he's from#148#

When the town is so quiet you can hear the bell tower tickin'
Out on the beltway they're sellin' the chicken
Where the tempers are short & the hours are longDarlin',
won't you meet me in the old part of town?

Old part of townYou can still hear the footsteps of the old mystery
Old part of townYou can still feel the heartbeat of
our whole historyWhen the heat on the street is wearin' you down
Darlin', won't you meet me in the old part of town?

Saw two red high heel shoes split up around midnight
They said they'd meet later by the fountain at Third
Four tires came screeching from different directions&
picked 'em both up 'fore they stepped off the curb

'Cause in the hours past midnight they stop keeping tabs
The carnival quarters are vacant & sad
But darlin' I think there's still a time to be hadIn
the old part of town where your mom met your dad
Darlin' won't you meet me in the old part of town?

Saw a newspaper with big headlines
That seemed to stare right through ya
Jump off a boxcar and blow into town
Pick a fight with two beer cans and a torn candy wrapper
The broom sweeping up the alley swore she never heard a sound

Meanwhile back on the beltway the cars are waiting in lines
Stars are blocked out by the shine of the signs
You might want to say #147#It's a sign of the times#148#
But darlin' won't you meet me in the old part of town
Darlin', won't you meet me in the old part of town


Mirror lyrics:

Darlin', won't you meet me in the old part of town
But darlin' won't you meet me in the old part of town
You might want to say #147#It's a sign of the times#148#
Stars are blocked out by the shine of the signs
Meanwhile back on the beltway the cars are waiting in lines

The broom sweeping up the alley swore she never heard a sound
Pick a fight with two beer cans and a torn candy wrapper
Jump off a boxcar and blow into town
That seemed to stare right through ya
Saw a newspaper with big headlines

Darlin' won't you meet me in the old part of town?
the old part of town where your mom met your dad
But darlin' I think there's still a time to be hadIn
The carnival quarters are vacant & sad
'Cause in the hours past midnight they stop keeping tabs

picked 'em both up 'fore they stepped off the curb
Four tires came screeching from different directions&
They said they'd meet later by the fountain at Third
Saw two red high heel shoes split up around midnight

Darlin', won't you meet me in the old part of town?
our whole historyWhen the heat on the street is wearin' you down
Old part of townYou can still feel the heartbeat of
Old part of townYou can still hear the footsteps of the old mystery

won't you meet me in the old part of town?
Where the tempers are short & the hours are longDarlin',
Out on the beltway they're sellin' the chicken
When the town is so quiet you can hear the bell tower tickin'

heard somebody say #147#bet I know where he's from#148#
As I lay on the asphalt 'neath the glow of light boxesI
Out on the beltway where the business is done
Last night I wandered punch drunk & enraptured

Popular Songs:
don't stop

i can't rely on you

cloud 9

heffalumps and woozles

no me dejes nunca nunca

cause the night

lonesome highway

juntos

dark end of the street

los dã­as pasan tan pronto.

tell another lie

baseball field

your eyes

et puis, voilãƒâ  que tu reviens

miã©nteme(dueto con elena gadel)

no puedo olvidar

everybody makes mistakes

away in a manger

walk away

how can i live [acoustic version]
