Midnight Cowboy (Home Demo 1)
It was in an all night movie
And I heard the usher say
Here comes the midnight cowboy
With his gun hired out for pay
With your tears, we saw you in the depot
With your ticket in your jeans
And I overheard you dreaming
About them debutantes
And New York City queens
Oh, them scenes
Wait 'til you get there
You'll see what I mean
Oh, dead end
What are you thinking of, my friend?
Go back home
You started for the city
With your calendar of gold
But the timer started leaking
And it led you to the cold
Now you can't afford a blanket
You could steal one from a friend
You could trick one off the corner
You could keep the change to spend
Oh, dead end
What are you thinking of, my friend?
Oh, bad scene
Wait 'til you get there
Soon you'll see what I mean
Go back home
And I heard the usher say
Here comes the midnight cowboy
With his gun hired out for pay
With your tears, we saw you in the depot
With your ticket in your jeans
And I overheard you dreaming
About them debutantes
And New York City queens
Oh, them scenes
Wait 'til you get there
You'll see what I mean
Oh, dead end
What are you thinking of, my friend?
Go back home
You started for the city
With your calendar of gold
But the timer started leaking
And it led you to the cold
Now you can't afford a blanket
You could steal one from a friend
You could trick one off the corner
You could keep the change to spend
Oh, dead end
What are you thinking of, my friend?
Oh, bad scene
Wait 'til you get there
Soon you'll see what I mean
Go back home
