Mainstreet Lyrics

by Bob Seger

I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying 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
Body softly swaying to that smoky beat
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 closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies
She looked so young and sweet
As she made here way alone
Down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet

Sometimes even now
When I'm feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time
And I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet
