Hot Night In A Cold Town Lyrics - Singles - Mellencamp John Cougar

(Geoffrey Cushing-Murray/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 

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
