《Downtown L.A.》歌词

[00:00:00] Downtown L.A. - J.J. Cale

[00:00:25] Downtown L.A. is a depressing place

[00:00:28] You can see young men with deep lines in their face

[00:00:31] They could all be something if somebody cared

[00:00:34] But nobody knows they're even down there

[00:00:37] Old woman walking with a sack on her back

[00:00:39] Picking up the garbage people put out back

[00:00:42] Men down there trying to walk the line

[00:00:45] Trading their soul for a bottle of wine

[00:00:50] In the inner city it ain't no good

[00:00:53] It's a long, long way from Hollywood

[00:00:56] Bad kind of people got a hold of the street

[00:00:59] They got something that the poor people need

[00:01:02] At two in the morning they bust your head

[00:01:04] Fat chance walking you'll end up dead

[00:01:07] It' the law of the jungle with a gun and a knife

[00:01:10] If you stay long enough you lose your life

[00:01:40] Man down there he couldn't be lying

[00:01:43] He was sleeping in the street and

[00:01:45] He couldn't keep from crying

[00:01:46] Said he'd been there for twenty one years

[00:01:49] Through the bars and the brawls and

[00:01:51] The blues and the tears

[00:01:52] Prop up the front the back falls down

[00:01:55] All around the canyons of L.A. town

[00:01:58] When he asked me for a dollar

[00:02:00] I looked him in his face

[00:02:01] Downtown L.A. is a depressing place
