Written by Geoffrey Cushing-Murray and Richard Littlefield |
|
Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly |
|
Washed in amber street lights |
|
A Mexican wind blows in |
|
Takin' ahold of Angelina's hair and her halo |
|
Motors runnin' muffling the sound |
|
Of street talk, a big deal's goin' down |
|
Chorus: |
|
It's another hot night |
|
In a cold town |
|
Got yourself a hot night |
|
In a cold town |
|
Johnny's got spare change in his pocket |
|
And a ring and a watch to hock for a sweet ride |
|
A one way ticket hidden in his shoe |
|
These last few hours |
|
He says he'll spend with you |
|
He's leavin' home without a trace |
|
No forwarding address he'll never have to face another... |
|
Chorus |
|
Well the losers and the groovers |
|
And the corner boys are hangin' 'round |
|
Runnin' in and out of doorways |
|
Up and down the stairs |
|
Stray dogs headed for the pound |
|
Chorus |
