Tonight I Think I'm Gonna Go Downtown

Nanci Griffith · Poet In My Window [2002]

Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown

Tonight I think I'm gonna look around

For something that I couldn't see

When this world was more real to me

Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown



My love, my love has gone away

My love, my love what can I say

My love would never see

That this world's just not real to me

Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown



I told my love a thousand times

Why I can't say what's on my mind

But he would never see

That this world's just not real to me

And tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown
