Come on Down Lyrics

Dad got drunk at dinner again

Mom says I'm gonna be a winner but when

It's hard to keep a sinner from committin' a sin

Went out for a walk I had some smoke to burn

They told me take it slow I took a sudden turn

It's hard to teach a lesson that you haven't learned

Met this girl named Sally she had purple hair

Took her for a spin and we got high on air

Lately we been dizzy we got dimes to spare

There must be some kind of angel weighin' down on me

Some clever devil would love to set me free, oh

Some kind of angel tellin' me

Come on down, come on, come on, come on down, I say

Come on, come on, come on now, let's go

Mom keeps tellin' me to go back to school

Dad keeps on yellin' boy you'll end up a fool

Sally dropped out 'cause she don't play by the rules

Snuck into the basement we made love on the floor

Ain't no dirty dancin' though we tangoed for sure

Dad walked in, he saw us there, he called her a whore

There must be some kind of angel weighin' down on me

Some clever devil would love to set me free, oh

Some kind of angel tellin' me

Come on down, come on, come on, come on down, I say

Come on, come on, come on now, I say

Come on, come on, come on down, I say

Come on, come on, come on now

I'm gonna swim when the weather's warm

Dip a foot in and feel the current swarm

Turnin’ each moment like a different stone

Beauty has been reborn

There must be some kind of angel weighin' down on me

Some clever devil would love to set me free, oh

Some kind of angel tellin' me

Come on down, come on, come on, come on down, I say

Come on, come on, come on now, I say

Come on, come on, come on down, I say

Come on, come on, come on now, let’s go
