Riley Green - Atlantic City Lyrics






Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
And they blew up his house, too
Down on the boardwalk they're ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state
And the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble on the promenade
And the gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth

Everything dies, baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight, in Atlantic city

Well, I got a job and I put my money away
But I got the kind of debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew out what I had from the central trust
And I bought us two tickets on that coast city bus

Everything dies, baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight, in Atlantic city

Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
But with you forever I'll stay
We'll be goin' out where the sands turn to gold
But put your stockings on 'cause it might get cold

Oh, everything dies, baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight, in Atlantic city

Now I've been a-lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
There's winners and there's losers
And I am south of the line
Well, I'm tired of gettin' caught out on the losin' end
But I talked to a man last night
Gonna do a little favor for him

Well, everything dies, baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight, in Atlantic city

Oh, meet me tonight, in Atlantic city
Oh, meet me tonight, in Atlantic city

    You’re a very talented artist, and your version is great. With that said, Bruce needs to be credited more as the songwriter...

    Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last
    Night now they blew up his house too
    Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready
    For a fight gonna see what them racket boys can do
    Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state
    And the D.A. can't get no relief
    Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and
    The gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth
    Everything dies baby that's a fact
    But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
    Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and
    Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    Well I got a job and tried to put my money away
    But I got in too deep and I could not pay
    So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
    And I bough us two tickets on that Coast City bus
    Everything dies baby that's a fact
    But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
    Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and
    Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    Now our luck may have died and out love may
    Be cold but with you forever I'll stay
    We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold
    So put on your stockin's 'cause the night's getting' cold and maybe everything dies
    That's a fact but maybe everything that dies
    Someday comes back
    Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
    Down here it's just winners and losers and
    Don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
    Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
    So honey last night I met this guy and I'm
    Gonna do a little favor for him
    Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact
    But maybe everything that dies someday
    Comes back
    Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and
    Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
