John Mellencamp - Hot Night In A Cold Town Lyrics
Written by Geoffrey Cushing-Murray and Richard LittlefieldSonny's out strolling, ambling slowlyWashed in amber street lightsA Mexican wind blows inTakin' ahold of Angelina's hair and her haloMotors runnin' muffling the soundOf street talk, a big deal's goin' downChorus:It's another hot nightIn a cold townGot yourself a hot nightIn a cold townJohnny's got spare change in his pocketAnd a ring and a watch to hock for a sweet rideA one way ticket hidden in his shoeThese last few hoursHe says he'll spend with youHe's leavin' home without a traceNo forwarding address he'll never have to face another...ChorusWell the losers and the grooversAnd the corner boys are hangin' 'roundRunnin' in and out of doorwaysUp and down the stairsStray dogs headed for the poundChorus
