Was that girl smiling under the sun
or was the smell of the burned gasoline
in a highway alone
Downtown the park where Mama’s dinner
where the lads they used to joke
in the old glorious days
And every step you could ensure
is a reason to be there
when you’re going falling down
in the middle of the dark
or if you’re lost into the night
Pennsylvania lights
Downtown,
Pennsylvania lights, forever more
I crossed the street in a clear sunny day
between the smoke of pollutants
shines the hope of a brightest day
Trucks were crossing lines and radio playing
songs of “the boss”
that we’ll never forget
And every step you could ensure
is a reason to be there
when you’re going falling down
in the middle of the dark
or if you’re lost into the night
Pennsylvania lights
Downtown,
Pennsylvania lights, forever more
