Disappointed in the College Station, Texas music scene, he began playing guitar and learned to read and write music, basing his style on folk, country, blues and roots rock.

I'll Go On Downtown
By: Robert Earl Keen
(Capo 5th)
[Intro]
G5 F C
[Verse]
G5 F C
Got clothes in my closet, new shoes to wear
C G5
All that i've wanted, i've more than my share
G5 F C
The woman who loves me, she's more than a dream
C G5
So why am I feeling so low down and mean?
G5 F C
I gave up on smokin' two years ago
C G5
And I ain't been drinkin for a month now or so
G5 F C
I tell everybody, I've nothin' to hide
C G5
while I keep the devil locked deep down inside
[Chorus]
C9 G5 D G5
But tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
[Verse]
G5 F C
We used to get crazy and jump in our cars
C G5
And burn up the highways, and close down the bars
G5 F C
Now we're all married, and some moved away
C G5
And when we get together, there's nothin' to say
[Chorus]
C9 G5 D G5
But tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
[Verse]
G5 F C
The lights are all down, the moon's hangin' high
C G5
And the stars are all shinin' way up in the sky
G5 F C
If anyone's askin' where I'll be found,
C G5
It's home in the mornin', but tonight I'm downtown
[Chorus]
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
