I Don't Want To Go Downtown - Gillian Welch

I don’t want to go downtown

I ain’t got no ribbons for my hair

That band’s too loud

And I always see you there

I can get a country station

They always play a few I like

I can dance around

But don’t want to go downtown tonight

Used to be I would wait for Friday

And some folks wait for Christmas Eve

Now I stay at home

Since you made a fool of me

Might some folks seen it comin'

I guess they kept their mouths shut tight

They’re laughing now

But don’t want to go downtown tonight

I don’t want to go downtown

I got no ribbons for my hair

That band’s too loud

And I always see you there

I can get a country station

They always play a few I like

I can dance around

I don’t have to go downtown

I don’t have to go downtown

I don’t have to go downtown
