Open All Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had the carburetor cleaned and checked With her line blown out, she's hummin' like a turbojet Propped her up in the backyard on concrete blocks For a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks Took her down to the car wash, check the plugs and points I'm goin' out tonight, gonna rock this joint [Verse 2] Early North Jersey industrial skyline I'm an all set Cobra Jet creepin' through the nighttime Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a pay phone This turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone Gotta hit the gas 'cause I'm runnin' late This New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscape [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 5 a.m., oil pressure's sinkin' fast Pit stop, wipe the windshield and check the gas Gotta call my baby on the telephone Let her know her daddy is comin' home Sit tight, mama, I'm comin' round I got three more hours but I'm coverin' ground [Verse 4] Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours Sun's a red ball over the refinery towers Radio's jammed up with gospel stations Lost souls callin' long distance salvation Hey Mr. DJ, won't you hear my last prayer? Let rock and roll deliver me from nowhere
