STRANDED ON DELAWARE AVENUE
Friday night comes Friday night goes
Seems Friday night's the only ht I really do know
Sliding down the blacktop after dark
Makin' eyes at the pretty girls parking their cars
Looking for the right club lookin' for the right face
Checking out the bar crowd smiling at the pretty face
Drink another cold beer shoot another clever line
Clock says one a.m. not sure where I am
I don't know how I'm gonna get home
My ride left early so I'm on my own
Bartender says boy get out of here
My shirt's all wet from Corona beer
I think I'm stranded on the avenue
Delaware Avenue
The cars pass by girls to the brim
They never stop and say Honey come on in
Hangin' out by the gate counting the wheels
On the bus, train, aeroplane and automobiles
My baby stays at home she don't like to go out
So I spread my wings through the bombed-out night crowd
Searching for the one girl looking for me
I leave empty handed and walk up the dark street
Called my girl but she said no
So I sat there listenin' to the radio
There's a party going on tonight, I need a ride
