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]
|
|

Hot Night In A Cold Town
