Tomorrow Night in Baltimore

Her head rolls back and forth

Against the billows of her long black shiny hair

As she contemplates the ecstasy

Of some other love that now she wished was there

If she could only realize

That the love I have could beckon her command

Instead of laughing endlessly

And pushing back advances with her hands

Every night I see her leaves

A nightmare of illusions when she’s gone

And it leaves a longing feeling in a man

With a pain that lingers on

The gaudy goodbye can’t replace

The girlish giggle of her sweet hello

But tonight I’ve made my crumbled mind up

That I’ll never ever let her go

Too many nights I’ve watched her tease

By shifting all her weight from hip to hip

And with her hands brush back the falling strands

That cover up her satin lips

She struts upon the stage

And her fallen victims are callin’ out for more

But she leaves them stranded helplessly

And exits to her dressing room door

Tonight I’m gonna take her

I’ve infiltrated past the guarded door

But she just hurries by me carryin’

All those scanty costumes that she wore

And she asks a sawed off cigar smokin’ cat

If he would open up the door

Then she told him to load the baggage

Because they open tomorrow night in Baltimore

God, if I have to crawl

I’m gonna be there tomorrow night in Baltimore
