Bare feet poppin' on a pine wood floor
A tumble rush of desert flowers side the door
Music box is pretty with the piebald stripes
Dust mote diamonds in a shaft of light

Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more

Everybody's laughin', now it won't be long
We've seen a lot of troubles, now the ghost is gone
Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
I ain't gonna worry no more

Waitin' at the depot for a London train
Tryin' to paint a picture in the pourin' rain
Hangin' out the window runnin' out of blue
Tomcat in the alley dodged a worn out shoe

Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more

Everybody's laughin', now it won't be long
We've seen a lot of troubles, now the ghost is gone
Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
I ain't gonna worry no more

He fourteen, dressed in his father's hat
Even had a little mustache just like that
Told the crazy lady at the corner shop
I'll take a pack of camels and a bottle of schnapps

Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
I ain't gonna worry no more

Back then they had a war that weren't no good
Everybody said they'd do what they could
Some went to Canada, some went down
With the FBI to the jail downtown

Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more

Everybody's laughin', now it won't be long
We've seen a lot of troubles, now the ghost is gone
Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
I ain't gonna worry no more

Hear the roar of jets comin' over the park
The glow of cigarettes in the dark
Do your bones turn to water? Does the sky turn black?
Caught at ground zero in a missile attack

Come on down, come on down
Ah, come on down

Bananas are cheap, that's united fruit
They cut off labor unions at the root
Murdered the tribes to clear the way
For the puppet government and CIA

Come on down

When I walked by a theater with a shining sign
Said, “Lightning Hopkins playing here tonight”
Paid my last three bucks and went inside
There he was in the big spotlight

Come on down, come on down

She's the sweetest woman that I've ever known
If I die tomorrow for I turn to stone
I'll close my eyes, travel back in time
23rd and mission walking side by side

Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more

'Coz everybody's laughin', now it won't be long
We've seen a lot of troubles, now the ghost is gone
Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more
I ain't gonna worry no more
