Tomorrow Night In Baltimore

Her head rolls back and forth



Against the billows of her long black shiny hair



As she contemplates the ecstasy



Of some other love that now she wished was there



If she could only realize



That the love I have could beckon her command



Instead of laughing endlessly



And pushing back advances with her hands



Every night I see her leaves



A nightmare of illusions when she's gone



And it leaves a longing feeling in a man



With a pain that lingers on



The gaudy goodbye can't replace



The girlish giggle of her sweet hello



But tonight I've made my crumbled mind up



That I'll never ever let her go



Too many nights I've watched her tease



By shifting all her weight from hip to hip



And with her hands brush back the falling strands



That cover up her satin lips



She struts upon the stage



And her fallen victims are callin' out for more



But she leaves them stranded helplessly



And exits to her dressing room door



Tonight I'm gonna take her



I've infiltrated past the guarded door



But she just hurries by me carryin'



All those scanty costumes that she wore



And she asks a sawed off cigar smokin' cat



If he would open up the door



Then she told him to load the baggage



Because they open tomorrow night in Baltimore



God, if I have to crawl



I'm gonna be there tomorrow night in Baltimore
