Hot air hangs like a dead man From a white oak tree People sitting on porches Thinking how things used to be Dark night It's a dark night Dark night It's a dark night The neighborhood was changing Strangers moving in A new boy fell for a local girl When she made eyes at him She was young and pretty No stranger to other men But windows were being locked at night Old lines were drawn again I thought these things Didn't matter anymore I thought all that blood Had been shed long ago Dark night It's a dark night He took her to the outskirts And pledged his love to her They thought it was their secret But someone knew where they were He held her so close He asked about her dreams When a bullet from a passing car Made the young girl scream I thought these things Didn't happen anymore I thought all that blood Had been shed long ago Dark night It's a dark night Dark night It's a dark night

Marie Marie Playing guitar on the back porch I sit in my car Why is she so sad Marie Marie Marie Marie It's so lonely in these farmlands Please come with me To the bright lights downtown Marie Marie I said, "Hey, pretty girl Don't you understand I just want to be your loving man" Marie Marie The sun is down in the corn fields The evening is dark And you sing so sad Marie Marie Marie Marie I got two weeks in back pay There's gas in my car And your folks say I must go Marie Marie I said, "Hey, pretty girl Don't you understand I just want to be your loving man" Marie Marie Playing guitar on the back porch I leave in my car While you sing so sad Marie Marie

Waitin' in an all night cafe Drunk half out of my mind Down to my last cigarette Tryin' to kill some time I don't know why I do it Spend a day at another girl's place She knew that when I open the door She could see by the look on my face Waitin' for me, she's waitin' for me No other girl could take it Another girl 'd just give in Another girl 'd throw out on the street No other girl would take me back again A chapman takes his hat off He likes his coffee black Soon I'll have to face the fact She knows that I'll be back The bus boy speaks in Spanish The waitress checks her hair I been so many nights on the town She'll always be there Waitin' for me, she's waitin' for me No other girl could take it Another girl 'd just give in Another girl 'd throw out on the street No other girl would take me back again Waitin' for me, she's waitin' for me No other girl could take it Another girl 'd just give in Another girl 'd throw out on the street No other girl would take me back again I don't know why I do it Some day she might be gone I buy a new pack of cigarettes I've been in this joint along Waitin' for me, she's waitin' for me No other girl could take it Another girl 'd just give in Another girl 'd throw out on the street No other girl would take me back again No other girl would take me back again No other girl would take me back again

I'm old enough to know the score I'm yound enough to want more more more There's a demon deep inside of me Some times I let the old boy run free Don't think twice when the sun goes down I'm troublebound Try to make a living during the day Deep in the night I throw it all away There's a demon deep inside of me Sometimes I let the old boy run free
