this about a little greasy spoon in sante fe, Mississippi
it's a little after two
it'll be morning soon
at all night dinner,
a cup of coffee
nothing finer
the mahoganide chairs
and the present waitress stares
you try to catch her eye
everytime she walks by
she could be a kitten
with a mean disposition
or just the kind of girl you'd forsake the world
or just your eggs and hashbrowns
after a night on the town
after a night on the town
well she's all dressed in white
and her hair's pulled back tight
her blue eyes are so nice
they remind you of ice
well it's been a whole hour
since she brought you more water
give you time to think of how to ask this girl out
well it's the courage you found, after a night on the town
after a night on the town
now it's time to leave
and then, there's some kind of gravy stain on your sleeve
and your cigarettes are gone
and then the girl she is gone
so you pay your bill, walk out in the night
all alone
after a night on the town
after a night on the town
after a night on the town
