I just blew back in town    So I thought I'd hang around   I ain't got nothin' else to do   Don't see a soul I know   This street done took it's toll   Got them ol' lower Broad St. Blues      The cops are sellin' souvenirs from cruisers    The tourists send up roses to the losers   Now all they wanna do is be ol' buckaroo   Got them ol' lower Broad St. Blues      Now some blew all their pay   And some were blown away   But they all blew their hillbilly lids   Dancers all limp home    The street lets out a groane   And the whineo's are all snug under the bridge   Somewhere in the alley, in the corner of my eye   The ghost of Scotty Stoneman drinkin' Bluetail Fly      A message from the past, your next might be your last   Got them ol' lower Broad St Blues   Got them ol' lower Broad St Blues
