《Downtown L.A.》歌词

[00:00:01] Downtown L.A. - J.J. Cale

[00:00:26] Downtown L.A. is a depressing place

[00:00:28] You can see young men

[00:00:30] With deep lines in their face

[00:00:31] They could all be something

[00:00:33] If somebody cared

[00:00:34] But nobody knows

[00:00:36] They're even down there

[00:00:38] Old woman walking with

[00:00:39] A sack on her back

[00:00:40] Picking up the garbage

[00:00:41] People put out back

[00:00:43] Men down there trying to walk the line

[00:00:46] Trading their soul for a bottle of wine

[00:00:51] In the inner city it ain't no good

[00:00:54] It's a long, long way from Hollywood

[00:00:57] Bad kind of people

[00:00:58] Got a hold of the street

[00:00:59] They got something that

[00:01:01] The poor people need

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

[00:01:05] Fat chance walking you'll end up dead

[00:01:08] It' the law of the jungle

[00:01:09] With a gun and a knife

[00:01:11] If you stay long enough you lose your life

[00:01:41] Man down there he couldn't be lying

[00:01:44] He was sleeping in the street

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

[00:01:47] Said he'd been there for twenty one years

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

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

[00:01:53] Prop up the front the back falls down

[00:01:56] 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
