The band had just started when they walked in the door |
|
He sat her at a table and strolled out on the floor |
|
He grabbed the first sweet thang that gave him the eye |
|
And left the door open for the steal of the night |
|
Three dances later she was still in her chair |
|
He was still on the dance floor like he didn't care |
|
So i eased on over, there was no ring in sight |
|
And i found myself facing the steal of the night. |
|
(chorus) |
|
She was the steal of the night, |
|
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night |
|
He long hair flowing and her jeans so tight |
|
I held her close and it felt so right |
|
She was the steal of the night |
|
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night |
|
He left her lonely and the pickings were right |
|
She was the steal of the night |
|
We danced every slow one the band could play |
|
Was it ever this easy for ole jesse james |
|
Had the gold in my hands and the banker was blind |
|
Just inches away from the steal of the night |
|
When the band stopped playing we walked to the car |
|
As i closed the door he ran out of the bar |
|
Saw him shaking his fist under the parking lot light |
|
As i strolled away with the steal of the night |
|
(repeat chorus) |
|
(repeat chorus and fade out) |
