midnight cowboy - home demo 2 - joni mitchell lyrics

Loading...

i was in an all night movie
and i head the usher say
here comes the midnight cowboy
with his gun hired out for pay
you were walking kind of faded
from the netherlands hotel
with your hat tipped up to ladies
with your smile strapped on to sell

hey joe, why didn’t you go back home?
quit hangin’ ’round the lost and found
dirty old town

you came to new york city
with your calendar of gold
but they locked it in the bedroom
and they kept you in the cold
now you can’t afford a blanket
you could steal one from your friend
you could trick one off the corner
you could keep the change to spend

hey joe, why don’t you go back home?
i hate to see you slippin’ down
in a dirty old town
there’s a soldier in the depot
he’s a fighting nightingale
wearing wester books and buckskins
reading fortunes off the scvale
and today’s he got a quarter
for the photograph machine
and tomorrow he’ll be lonely
that’s the way he’s always been

hey joe, why don’t you go back home and
find yourself a girl and settle down?
dirty old town

it was an all night movie
that i heard the usher say
here comes that midnight cowboy again
with his gun hired out for pay
you were walking kind of faded
from the netherlands hotel
with your hat tipped up to ladies
with your smile strapped on as well

hey joe, why don’t you go back home?
quit hangin’ ’round the lost and found
dirty old town
