I remember standin on the corner at midnight

tryin to get my courage up

there was this long loveley dancer in a little club downtown

loved to watch her do her stuff



through the long lonely nights

she filled my sleep

her body softly swayin

to that smokey beat

down on mainstreet

down on mainstreet



and The poolhalls, the huslters , and the losers

used to watch em through the glass

well i'd stand outside at closin time

just to watch her walk on past

unlike all the other ladies

she looked so young and sweet

as she made her alone down that empty street

down on mainstreet

down on mainstreet

oooooh



sometimes even now, when im feelin lonely and beat

i drift back in time and i find my feet

down on mainstreet

down on mainstreet



down on mainstreet

down on mainstreet



down on mainstreet

down on mainstreet
