Ben Chapman - Downbeat Lyrics

Well, this place gets scary after dark
Buying cocaine in the parking lot
It's a little too calm before the storm
Yeah, I'm breaking a sweat and it ain't even warm

Because I dodged another bullet and a wicked stare
From the girl next door with the platinum hair
When you're up this high, it's a long way down
If I keep on flying, I won't hit the ground
And I'll take it, yeah, I'll take it

'Cause when the Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Tryin' to make the best of another night
You never know what might ever come along
You might get lucky, sing her favorite song
Two cousins in the corner 'bout to get in a fight
Over something 'bout nothing they can't get by
When the Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright, alright, yeah

Half-drunk, half-stoned, half keeping my cool
Lotta small town trouble with something to prove
I can't speed it up and I can't play too slow
Gotta find the right groove with just enough soul

'Cause the word 'round here sure travels fast
When a light's on you and your checkered past
A king without a crown in this shotgun shack
Singing what they want, gotta make 'em come back
And I'll take it, yeah, I'll take it

'Cause when the Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Tryin' to make the best of another night
You never know what might ever come along
You might get lucky, sing her favorite song
Two cousins in the corner 'bout to get in a fight
Over something 'bout nothing they can't get by
Downbeat comes, everything's alright
When the Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright

Yeah, I dodged another bullet and a jilted stare
From the girl next door with the platinum hair
When the Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright
Downbeat comes, everything's alright

Everything's alright
Everything's alright
Everything's alright
