I got a job working construction for the Johnstown company
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Summer's here and the time is right
Senorita come sit by my fire
Well sir, I guess there' just a meanness in this world
And you'll hear me sing this song
Woke up this morning, my house was cold
In a misty cloud of pink vapor
We're a long long way from home Bobbie
Your finger prints left on file, left clumsily at the scene
Come on up lay your hands in mine
Trust none of what you hear, and less of what you see
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
The screen door slams
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
She said, here's your mirror and your ball and jacks
It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute
Beneath the city two hearts beat, soul engines running through a night so tender
She says baby if you wanna be wild, you got a lot to learn
Everybody's gotta secret Sonny, something that they just can't face
Your mama's yapping in the back seat, tell her to push over and move them big feet
Once I dreamed we were together again baby you and me
Now here I am down in Kingstown again
She said last night she read those letters, and they made her feel one hundred years old
Now there's trouble busin' in from out of state and the DA can't get no relief
Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a payphone, this turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone
The whole world is out there just tryin to score
I heard somebody call your name from beneath our willow
Well my daddy worked the furnaces, kept them hotter than hell
The way she moves behind the counter
If an officer stops you, promise me you'll always be polite
In the end what you don't surrender, well the world just strips away
But each lover's steps fall so differently, but I'll wait for you
Once I thought I knew everything I needed to know about you
We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school
In '65 tension was runnin high in my high school
Tell me now baby is he good to you?
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
She's a hot steppin hemi with a four on the floor
There was blood and glass all over, and there was nobody there but me
