Open All Night

Well, I had the carburetor, baby, cleaned and checkedWith her line blown out she's hummin' like a turbojetPropped her up in the backyard on concrete blocksFor a new clutch plate and a new set of shocksTook her down to the carwash, check the plugs and pointWell, I'm goin' out tonight. I'm gonna rock that jointEarly north Jersey industrial skylineI'm a all-set cobra jet creepin' through the nighttimeGotta find a gas station, gotta find a pay phoneThis turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all aloneGotta hit the gas, baby. I'm running lateThis New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscapeNow, the boss don't dig me, so he put me on the night shiftIt's an all-night run to get back to where my baby livesIn the wee, wee hours your mind gets hazyRadio relays towers, won't you lead me to my baby?Underneath the overpass, trooper hits his party light switchGood night, good luck. One, two power shiftI met Wanda when she was employedBehind the counter at Route Sixty Bob's Big Boy Fried ChickenOn the front seat, she's sittin' in my lapWe're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco road mapI remember Wanda up on scrap metal hillWith them big brown eyes that make your heart stand stillWell, at five a.m., oil pressure's sinkin' fastI make a pit stop, wipe the windshield, check the gasGotta call my baby on the telephoneLet her know that her daddy's comin' on homeSit tight, little mama, I'm comin' `roundI got three more hours, but I'm coverin' groundYour eyes get itchy in the wee, wee hoursSun's just a red ball risin' over them refinery towersRadio's jammed up with gospel stationsLost souls callin' long distance salvationHey, mister deejay, won'tcha hear my last prayer?Hey, ho, rock'n'roll, deliver me from nowhere
