[Verse 1]
Last night I wandered, punch drunk and enraptured
Out on the beltway where the business is done
As I lay on the asphalt 'neath the glow of light boxes
I heard somebody say, "I bet I know where he's from"
[Verse 2]
When the town is so quiet you hear the bell tower tickin'
Out on the beltway, they're sellin' the chicken
Where the tempers are short and the hours are long
Darlin', won't you meet me in the old part of town?
[Chorus]
The old part of town
You can still hear the footsteps of the old mystery
The old part of town
You can still feel the heartbeat of our whole history
When the heat on the street is wearin' you down
Darlin', won't you meet me in the old part of town?
[Verse 3]
Saw two red high heel shoes split up around midnight
They said they'd meet later by the fountain on Third
Four tires came screeching from different directions
And picked 'em both up 'fore they stepped off the curb
Last night I wandered, punch drunk and enraptured
Out on the beltway where the business is done
As I lay on the asphalt 'neath the glow of light boxes
I heard somebody say, "I bet I know where he's from"
[Verse 2]
When the town is so quiet you hear the bell tower tickin'
Out on the beltway, they're sellin' the chicken
Where the tempers are short and the hours are long
Darlin', won't you meet me in the old part of town?
[Chorus]
The old part of town
You can still hear the footsteps of the old mystery
The old part of town
You can still feel the heartbeat of our whole history
When the heat on the street is wearin' you down
Darlin', won't you meet me in the old part of town?
[Verse 3]
Saw two red high heel shoes split up around midnight
They said they'd meet later by the fountain on Third
Four tires came screeching from different directions
And picked 'em both up 'fore they stepped off the curb
