Hot Night in a Cold Town

Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly, washed in

Amber street lights, a Mexican wind blows in

Takin' a hold of Angelina's hair and her halo

Motors running, muffling the sound of the street talk

A big deal's goin' down in another hot night

In a cold town, got yourself a hot night in a cold town

Johnny's got spare change in his pocket, 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 hot night in a cold town

Got yourself a hot night in a cold town

Well, the losers and the groovers

And the corner boys are hangin' around

Runnin' in and out of doorways, up and down

The stairways, stray dogs headed for the pound

In another hot night in a cold town, got you

Got yourself a hot night in a cold, cold town, cold town

It's just another hot night in a cold town

Such a cold town
