Lyrics
Bedroom Town
When the lights go down at nine, they?ll be feeling fine
Hanging out at the Inn, drinking tonic and gin and wine
The town drunk bellows, to all the other fellows
Standing up for round number one
Joe hates Jack who stepped on Jane
Jean and Mike ain?t quite the same now
Chuck dumped Sue and said good luck
Suzie?s got an Ouzi, she?s gonna use it on Chuck (Oh Chuck)
You can?t hide in a bedroom Town , hopin? - hopin?
You can?t hide in a bedroom town, copin?
Somebody?s knockin?, but you don?t hear them at all
In a bedroom town.
There?s a little girl that got tossed, when she married Daddy?s boss
And they flew to Miami on a plane that done got lost
Folks all whispered, when the local judge kissed her
They all said the ticket sure got paid.
We all know Johnny was meant for Lou
Lou-Lou wears a smile, though she?s coming unglued
Donna gets the paper in a black negligee
Hoping Mr. Postman will deliver that day - in a way
You can?t hide in a bedroom Town , hopin? - hopin?
You can?t hide in a bedroom town, copin?
Somebody?s knockin?, but you don?t hear them at all
In a bedroom town.
You can?t hide in a bedroom Town , hopin? - hopin?
You can?t hide in a bedroom town, copin?
Somebody?s knockin?, but you don?t hear them at all
