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 
I loved to watch her do her stuff 
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep 
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat 
Down on Mainstreet 
  
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers 
I 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 her way alone down that empty street 
Down on Mainstreet 
  
And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat 
I drift back in time and I find my feet 
Down on Mainstreet 
Down on Mainstreet
