Downtown Lyrics
When you're alone, and life is making you lonely
You can always go
Downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure
Downtown everything's waiting for you
Downtown
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows
Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
Downtown, downtown
Downtown
Downtown
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute for
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
You can always go
Downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure
Downtown everything's waiting for you
There are movie shows
Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
Downtown
Downtown
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute for
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown

I love this, I used to listen to it during the hardest times in my life. And yes, the first place I ever heard it was on the movie Girl, Interrupted.
The meaning in this song is fairly obvious. The idea is that depression is only made worse by isolation, and becoming active is a way to relieve its effect.
It is regrettable that the Nashville bomber at Christmas in 2020, played this song immediately before setting off the blast.
It appears he was in need of love and assistance, but unfortunately, did not get it. Rest in peace, now that it is over. To all others, seek help when you need it.
such a great song, it makes you feel better once you listen to it.
