Open All Night (Live at New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, New Orleans, LA - 04/30/06)

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 carwash check the plugs and points I'm goin' out tonight I'm gonna rock that joint Verse 2 Early north Jersey industrial skyline I'm a all set cobra jet creepin' through the nighttime Gotta find a gas station gotta find a payphone This turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone Gotta hit the gas baby I'm runnin' late This New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscape Verse 3 The boss don't dig me so he put me on the nightshift It takes me two hours to get back to where my baby lives In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy Radio relay towers won't you lead me to my baby Underneath the overpass trooper hits his party light switch Goodnight good luck one two powershift Verse 4 I met Wanda when she was employed Behind the counter at the route 60 Bob's Big Boy Fried Chicken on the front seat she's sittin' in my lap We're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco roadmap I remember Wanda up on scrap metal hill With them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still Instrumental break Verse 5 5 A.M. oil pressure's sinkin' fast I make a pit stop wipe the windshield check the gas Gotta call my baby on the telephone Let her know that her daddy's comin' on home Sit tight little mamma I'm comin' round I got 3 more hours but I'm coverin' ground Verse 6 Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours Sun's just a red ball risin' over them refinery towers Radio's jammed up with gospel stations Lost souls callin' long distance salvation Hey Mr. DJ won't ya hear my last prayer Hey ho rock 'n' roll deliver me from nowhere
