City Liners

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Every Friday night at ten I would call for my best friend And sneak a couple of his daddy's Ballantines And we'd do them in a flash, gettin' off behind the trash Then we'd run to catch the Double A to City Line [Verse 2] And we'd walk straight to the rear, didn't want nobody near And we'd goof on every ugly girl who came along And we'd sing the latest tune, and make some elbow room City Liners thirty members strong [Chorus] Yes, the boys would meet on a dead end street And brag about their woman to pass away the time And they'd shoot the breeze on their knees Whoa how I miss that City Line [Verse 3] Saturday night the same old thing except we'd switch to wine Seems it got us there in half the time Freddie Bauman's disappeared, you know he's married Lucille Stein And them City Liners down to twenty-nine [Chorus] Yes, the boys would meet on a dead end street And brag about their woman to pass away the time And they'd shoot the breeze on their knees Whoa how I miss that City Line [Verse 4] Sunday night I'm all alone like the four other nights in the week School in the morning and I got to get my sleep Well even now sixteen years later with all that left behind I still think about my City Line [Chorus] Yes, the boys would meet on a dead end street And brag about their woman to pass away the time And they'd shoot the breeze on their knees Whoa how I miss that City Line
