Down In The Bowery - Alejandro Escovedo

Everybody’s got to dance with the blues some times

Everybody’s got to feel feel something they don’t want to feel sometimes

I’d buy you a smile in a minute but would you wear it?

If you had one moment to spare would you come down and share it?

I want you out on the streets making a noise for everybody

I want to hear your voice up above the crowd and the noise

Down in the Bowery

Down in the Bowery

I hope you live long enough to forget half the stuff that they taught you

And when it’s all said and done I hope you got your own set of rules to hang on
