Waiting on a Sunny Day

SHERRY DARLING was her name
She worked at the CADILLAC RANCH
Alas she had a rich boyfriend and friends would tell me
YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH)
I wanted to say these words to her “I have a CRUSH ON YOU”
SHE’S THE ONE
Sherry, I WANNA MARRY YOU
I finally confessed my feelings to her OUT ON THE STREET
She Tells me to meet her down by THE RIVER
There we made love, TWO HEARTS beating
We saw each other for some time and I later find out
She’s getting married
That THE PRICE YOU PAY
When you are from the wrong side of the tracks
Leaving in a STOLEN CAR..DRIVE ALL NIGHT

I’M GOING DOWN TO DARLING TOWN
Men WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY
Met a cute lady at the local bar, name was BOBBY JEAN
There was NO SURRENDER in those blue eyes
She loved DANCING IN THE DARK
As we danced close she whispers LET’S BE FRIENDS (SKIN TO SKIN)
BABY I’M ON FIRE and I will PROVE IT ALL NIGHT
Those were GLORY DAYS

Drove down THUNDER ROAD Needed a place to stay
Went to grab a bite to eat at a cafe’ called CANDY’S ROOM.
WHEN YOU’RE ALONE on VALENTINE’S DAY
Oh what a LONESOME DAY.
Hiding the pain and sadness. What a BRILLIANT DISGUISE
Watching people making out in the TUNNEL OF LOVE.
It’s just TOUGHER THAN THE REST.

Passing through towns in THE PROMISED LAND
RACING IN THE NIGHT. Driving in DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN

Pulled off the road. ACROSS THE RIVER,
I could see MY HOMETOWN far in the distance
Looking up at the EMPTY SKY, no clouds, just blue skies
Break time is over, need to continue for a just a bit more
Thinking to myself, I’m COUNTIN ON A MIRACLE for rain
FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD), my final destination
MARY’S PLACE
