《Just Like Downtown》歌词

[00:00:00] Just Like Downtown - Carrie Newcomer

[00:00:08] I grew up on an island

[00:00:10] Somewhere near Chicago

[00:00:12] Learned how to talk rough

[00:00:14] Just like downtown

[00:00:16] You could drive to the lake

[00:00:18] And it sure seemed to me

[00:00:20] It smelled like fresh water

[00:00:22] But it felt like the sea

[00:00:24] That's right it's so long now

[00:00:28] You cannot fight this thing any old how

[00:00:32] You can run fast you can try so hard

[00:00:36] But you can't shake the ache or the lake of

[00:00:39] Who you are

[00:00:44] There was nothing to do

[00:00:46] But to shut up and drive

[00:00:48] To the water down the backroads

[00:00:50] To the south and east sides

[00:00:52] Some girls got through high school

[00:00:55] Some never will

[00:00:56] Some walked with a hunger

[00:00:58] They never would fill

[00:01:01] That's right it's so long now

[00:01:05] You cannot fight this thing any old how

[00:01:08] You can run fast you can try so hard

[00:01:12] But you can't shake the ache or the lake of

[00:01:16] Who you are

[00:01:21] You can cough out the city

[00:01:23] You can change your old clothes

[00:01:25] You can soften your accent

[00:01:27] So nobody knows

[00:01:28] But whenever I'm honest

[00:01:31] Something in me

[00:01:33] Still looks for fresh water

[00:01:35] That feels like the sea

[00:01:37] That's right it's so long now

[00:01:41] You cannot fight this thing any old how

[00:01:45] You can run fast you can try so hard

[00:01:49] But you can't shake the ache or the lake of

[00:01:53] Who you are

[00:02:01] I close my eyes

[00:02:07] And I can still see

[00:02:10] That no one forgets

[00:02:15] What it's like to be

[00:02:17] Who it is to be

[00:02:34] If you see me inclining when no one is speaking

[00:02:38] If you sense that I'm wandering somewhere in my mind

[00:02:42] If you listen real close you might hear the whisper

[00:02:46] Or see how the sunsets on the lake could shine and shine

[00:02:51] That's right it's so long now

[00:02:55] You cannot fight this thing any old how

[00:02:59] You can run fast you can try so hard

[00:03:03] But you can't shake the ache or the lake of

[00:03:06] Who you are

[00:03:15] I grew up on an island somewhere near Chicago

[00:03:19] Learned how to talk tough just like downtown
