(Peter Case)Last night I wandered punch drunk & enraptured Out on the beltway where the business is done As I lay on the asphalt neath the glow of light boxesI heard somebody say bet I know where hes fromWhen the town is so quiet you can hear the bell tower tickin Out on the beltway theyre sellin the chicken Where the tempers are short & the hours are longDarlin, wont you meet me in the old part of town?Old part of townYou can still hear the footsteps of the old mystery Old part of townYou can still feel the heartbeat of our whole historyWhen the heat on the street is wearin you down Darlin, wont you meet me in the old part of town?Saw two red high heel shoes split up around midnight They said theyd meet later by the fountain at Third Four tires came screeching from different directions& picked em both up fore they stepped off the curbCause in the hours past midnight they stop keeping tabs The carnival quarters are vacant & sad But darlin I think theres still a time to be hadIn the old part of town where your mom met your dad Darlin wont you meet me in the old part of town?Saw a newspaper with big headlines That seemed to stare right through ya Jump off a boxcar and blow into town Pick a fight with two beer cans and a torn candy wrapper The broom sweeping up the alley swore she never heard a soundMeanwhile back on the beltway the cars are waiting in lines Stars are blocked out by the shine of the signs You might want to say Its a sign of the times But darlin wont you meet me in the old part of town Darlin, wont you meet me in the old part of town
