Shirly and Nancy
Shirly cleans up after her nightshift
she puts on her coat left by the door
she steps out into a flurry of snowfall
as she heads out into the cold
Tommy gets off around midnight
his head feels like a swollen ton of lead
he picks up some cigarettes down at the corner
then heads back to the apartment once again
Oh, are you city bound?
or waiting on your train?
I'm just driving through the night again
Nancy cleans up after her last customer
she keeps her face stuck in a smile
she makes her way across to the A train
stopping to look at some shop windows for a while
Oh, are you city bound?
or waiting on your train?
I'm just driving through the night again
Terry will never be more than his dad was
nor play left field for the braves
he's breaking his back selling cheap real estate
Oh, are you city bound?
or waiting on your train?
I'm just driving through the night again
