Lyrics

[00:20.53] A cab combs the snake
[00:21.74]
[00:22.71] Tryin to rake in that last nights fare
[00:27.53] And a solitary sailor
[00:29.51] Who spends the facts of his life
[00:31.72] Like small change on strangers
[00:36.95] Paws his inside p-coat pocket
[00:40.33] For a welcome twenty-five cents
[00:44.51] And the last bent butt
[00:46.13] From a package of kents
[00:47.97] As he dreams of a waitress
[00:49.78] With maxwell house eyes
[00:51.83] And marmalade thighs
[00:53.68] With scrambled yellow hair
[00:55.21]
[00:57.80] Her rhinestone-studded moniker says irene
[01:01.24]
[01:02.85] As she wipes the wisps of
[01:05.03] Dishwater blonde from her eyes
[01:06.84]
[01:21.83] And the texaco beacon burns on
[01:26.43] The steel-belted attendant
[01:27.96] With a ring and valve special
[01:31.04] Cryin filler up and check that oil
[01:34.56] You know it could be a distributor
[01:36.22] And it could be a coil
[01:39.84]
[01:43.41] The early mornin final editions on the stands
[01:46.25]
[01:48.42] And that town cryers cryin there
[01:50.73] With nickels in his hands
[01:55.65] Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents
[01:59.30] Eggs-roll em over and a package of kents
[02:03.76] Adam and eve on a log
[02:05.25] You can sink em damn straight
[02:07.92] Hash browns hash browns
[02:09.43] You know I cant late be
[02:13.57]
[02:32.77] And the early dawn cracks
[02:34.51] Out a carpet of diamond
[02:37.14] Across a cash crop car lot
[02:39.61] Filled with twilight coupe devilles
[02:43.34] Leaving the town in a-keeping
[02:47.04] Of the one who is sweeping
[02:48.81]
[02:55.07] Up the ghost of saturday night
