Cover art for Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown lyrics by Neil Young

It’s funny what you think you hear when you’re young and innocent... When I first got this I remember thinking it was just about these guys hanging out downtown, probably drinking beers, they get a bite to eat, which results in one of them becoming flatulent! “Steak house, French fries, and I got lots of gas!” and after a drink too many it sounds like they get pulled over for DUI “ Pretty bad when you're dealin' with the man and the light shines in your eyes”.., Many moons (and enough NY biographies, books, articles, interviews, etc.) later I get it, but it makes me laugh thinking what my first impression of this tune was, LoL.
