Downtown L.A. - J.J. Cale[00:00:01]

Downtown L.A. is a depressing place[00:00:26]

You can see young men[00:00:28]

With deep lines in their face[00:00:30]

They could all be something[00:00:31]

If somebody cared[00:00:33]

But nobody knows[00:00:34]

They're even down there[00:00:36]

Old woman walking with[00:00:38]

A sack on her back[00:00:39]

Picking up the garbage[00:00:40]

People put out back[00:00:41]

Men down there trying to walk the line[00:00:43]

Trading their soul for a bottle of wine[00:00:46]

In the inner city it ain't no good[00:00:51]

It's a long, long way from Hollywood[00:00:54]

Bad kind of people[00:00:57]

Got a hold of the street[00:00:58]

They got something that[00:00:59]

The poor people need[00:01:01]

At two in the morning they bust your head[00:01:02]

Fat chance walking you'll end up dead[00:01:05]

It' the law of the jungle[00:01:08]

With a gun and a knife[00:01:09]

If you stay long enough you lose your life[00:01:11]

Man down there he couldn't be lying[00:01:41]

He was sleeping in the street[00:01:44]

And he couldn't keep from crying[00:01:45]

Said he'd been there for twenty one years[00:01:47]

Through the bars and the brawls[00:01:49]

And the blues and the tears[00:01:51]

Prop up the front the back falls down[00:01:53]

All around the canyons of L.A. town[00:01:56]

When he asked me for a dollar[00:01:58]

I looked him in his face[00:02:00]

Downtown L.A. is a depressing place[00:02:01]
