[Chorus]
I don't want to go downtown
Ain’t got no ribbons for my hair
That band's too loud
And I always see you there

[Verse 1]
I can get a country station
They always play a few I like
I can dance around
I don't want to go downtown tonight

[Verse 2]
Used to be I would wait for Friday
Like some folks wait for Christmas Eve
Now I stay at home
Since you made a fool of me

[Verse 3]
Maybe some folks seen it comin’
I guess they kept their mouths shut tight
They're laughing now
I don't want to go downtown tonight

[Chorus]
I don't want to go downtown
Ain't got no ribbons for my hair
That band's too loud
And I always see you there
[Outro]
I can get a country station
They always play a few I like
I can dance around
I don't want to go downtown
I don't want to go downtown
I don’t want to go downtown
