"Down City Streets" is a song written by Australian singer songwriter Ruby Hunter and recorded by her husband Archie Roach.

The song was released in 1991 as the second single from Roach's debut studio album Charcoal Lane (1990).

"Down City Streets" is an autobiographical song Hunter wrote recalling her time as a homeless alcoholic.

[1] In 2015 Roach recalls the scenario coming home one night "... she was there and she screwed up this paper and tried to hide it under the pillow or something like that and I said, 'What is that?'

She reluctantly gave me this piece of paper with a song written on it ... and she just sat down and sang it to me.
