by Bob Seger



I remember standing on the corner at midnight

Trying to get my courage up

There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown

Loved to watch her do her stuff

Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep

Body softly swaying to that smoky beat

Down on Mainstreet



In the pool halls

The hustlers and the losers

Used to watch 'em through the glass

Well I'd stand outside at closing time

Just to watch her walk on past

Unlike all the other ladies

She looked so young and sweet

As she made here way alone

Down that empty street

Down on Mainstreet



Sometimes even now

When I'm feeling lonely and beat

I drift back in time

And I find my feet

Down on Mainstreet
