Downtown
Lucero (Country) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On my way downtown
I thought you might be around
Well come on out tonight
Come on out tonight

I know the last time we drank
I was a little less than behaved
Well come on out tonight
Ill be good tonight





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lucero's song "Downtown" tell the tale of a narrator who is heading into the city center with hopes of finding someone special. The singer is clearly still hung up on this individual, and they hope that they'll be able to cross paths once again. This is highlighted by the repeated refrain "come on out tonight," which implies that the two have already made plans to meet up.


However, the singer is also aware that the last time they met up, they weren't exactly on their best behavior. This could mean a variety of things, from saying something embarrassing to getting too drunk and acting out of control. Whatever the case may be, the singer is determined to be on their best behavior this time around. They tell the other person that they'll "be good tonight," in hopes that this time things will go more smoothly.


Overall, "Downtown" is a song about the hope and uncertainty that comes with trying to reconnect with someone from your past. The singer isn't sure if their efforts will pay off, but they're willing to take the risk and try to make something happen.

This album is my favorite by them.. Only so much sad shit I can listen to. Now that summer is here this album is always crankin my car.

The whole album has a very Springsteenish sound to it.. And that my friends, is not a bad thing.

TheSporehacker

And a little inspiration from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
