I don't want to go downtown   I ain't got no ribbons for my hair   That band's too loud   And I always see you there      I can get a country station   They always play a few I like   I can dance around    But don't want to go downtown tonight      Used to be I would wait for Friday   And some folks wait for Christmas Eve   Now I stay at home   Since you made a fool of me      Might some folks seen it comin'   I guess they kept their mouths shut tight   They're laughing now   But don't want to go downtown tonight      I don't want to go downtown   I got no ribbons for my hair   That band's too loud   And I always see you there      I can get a country station   They always play a few I like   I can dance around   I don't have to go downtown    I don't have to go downtown   I don't have to go downtown
