Girl Downtown - Hayes Carll

There’s a girl downtown with freckles on

Her nose

Pencils in her pocket and ketchup on her

Clothes

She’s a real nice girl, pretty as a plate

The boys call her Katie when they ask her

On a date

And who knows Katie?

Maybe you could be the one

There’s a boy outside standin in the rain

His hands are in his pockets he’s a

Wonderin why he came

He’s a real nice boy, slower than the fall

The girls call him Billy if they’re callin

Him at all

And who knows Billy?

Maybe you could be the one

Chorus:

But hearts don’t fly And words don’t sing

Boys like you can’t buy no ring

Loves not stuck It just moves slow

Turn around a minute And away we go

Billy walked inside, ordered up a drink

He started gettin nervous and a wonderin

What she’d think

She thought he looked nice, rough around

The seams

Just the kind of boy who could listen to

Her dreams

And who knows Katie?

Maybe he could be the one

Well, they stepped outside, and took a

Little walk

Katie held his hand and Billy even talked

They sat by the pond, they didn’t make a

Sound

The night fell easy as the moon came

Down

And who knows baby?

Maybe we could be the one

Repeat Chorus

There’s a girl downtown with freckles on

Her nose

Pencils in her pocket and ketchup on her

Clothes

She’s a real nice girl, pretty as a plate

The boys call her Katie when they ask her

On a date

And who knows Katie?

Maybe you could be the one

Who knows Katie?

Maybe you could be the one

Who knows baby?

Maybe we could be the one
