I remember standin' on a corner at midnight
Tryin' 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
Her body softly swayin' to that smoky beat

Down on Mainstreet
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 closin' time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street

Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Sometimes even now when I'm feelin' lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet

Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
