Sonny's out strollin', amblin' slowly Washed in amber street lights Mexican wind blows in Taking hold of Angelina's hair And her halo Motors runnin', mufflin' the sound Of the streets A big deal's goin' down in 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 them with you He's leaving home without a trace No forwarding address He'll never know How to face another
Well the losers and the groovers And the corner boys Are hangin' around Running in and out of doorways Up and down the stairways Stray dogs headed for the pound
Hot night in a cold town Got yourself a Hot night in a cold town It's just another hot night In a cold town
