John Mellencamp - Hot Night In A Cold Town Lyrics
Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly
Washed in amber street lights
A Mexican wind blows in
Takin' ahold of Angelina's hair and her halo
Motors runnin' muffling the sound
[Chorus:]
It's another hot night
In a cold town
Got yourself a hot night
In a cold town
Johnny's got spare change in his pocket
And a ring and a watch to hock for a sweet ride
A one way ticket hidden in his shoe
He says he'll spend with you
He's leavin' home without a trace
No forwarding address he'll never have to face another...
[Chorus]
Well the losers and the groovers
And the corner boys are hangin' 'round
Runnin' in and out of doorways
Up and down the stairs
Stray dogs headed for the pound
[Chorus]

John Mellencamp Hot Night In A Cold Town Comments
This song got way overlooked back in the day when this album was released. Rolling Stone had no clue what they were talking about back then when they were dissing John. John definitely had the last laugh between them though....
David E. Windsor II a bit like when jimmy Barnes went to America and he was laughed at, he became more popular and well known in Australia than AC/DC
While John may not have had good writing, his whole early career from 76 and including the little known release of Kid Inside had some real rockin songs. For example, the riff alone of “Where The Sidewalk Ends” from 1978’s A Biography should’ve been the hook of a hit, and a lot of chorus’ of his songs like “American Dream”, “Dream Killing Town”, “Take What You Want”, both the Nothin Matters and Kid Inside versions of “Cheap Shot” and “Don’t Misunderstand Me” should’ve been other singles and hits, of coarse I can’t name them all
Great Song!
seriously?
Seriously what? It's high quality muisic for free, what could be the problem?
