Bb7/6    Eb9
A cab combs the snake,
Bb7/6    Eb9
Tryin' to rake in that last night's fare,
Bb7/6
And a solitary sailor
            Am7         D7
Who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers...

Bb7/6               Eb9
Paws his inside P-coat pocket for a welcome twenty-five cents,
Bb7/6               Eb9
And the last bent butt from a package of Kents,
Bb7/6
As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes
         Am7          D7
And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair.

Bb7/6               Eb9
Her rhinestone-studded moniker says, "Irene"
Bb7/6               Eb9    Bb7/6
As she wipes the wisps of dishwater blonde from her eyes
Am7 D7

Bb7/6         Eb9
And the Texaco beacon burns on,
Bb7/6         Eb9             Bb7
The steel-belted attendant with a 'Ring and Valve Special'...
            Am7
Cryin' "Fill'er up and check that oil"
                       D7
"You know it could be a distributor and it could be a coil."

Bb7/6                Eb9
The early mornin' final edition's on the stands,
Bb7/6                  Eb9
And that town cryer's cryin' there with nickels in his hands.
Bb7/6          Am7  D7
Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents,
Bb7/6                Eb9
Eggs - roll 'em over and a package of Kents,
Bb7/6                Eb9  Bb7/6
Adam and Eve on a log, you can sink 'em damn straight,
Am7              D7
Hash browns, hash browns, you know I can't be late.

Bb7/6                Eb9
And the early dawn cracks out a carpet of diamond
Bb7/6                Eb9
Across a cash crop car lot filled with twilight Coupe Devilles,
         Am7
Leaving the town in a-keeping
            D7
Of the one who is sweeping
      Bb7/6     Eb9
