Hot Night In A Cold Town — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

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
