Met her at a friendly little bar down along the coast
She said it was her birthday so we had us a nice little toast
Drove around for a while, smoked a few cigarettes

Took her back to my place, she slipped off her party dress
She sat for a while on the edge of the bed just talkin'
Loose change in my pocket

Loose change in my pocket

Pint of gin in my boot cuff, I'm drivin' for a drink and a dance

Sittin' on the next stool, miss a little time on her hands
Yeah I knew she was trouble, but trouble sure was lookin' fine
And when I pulled her close what I knew kinda slipped my mind

We lay in bed and watched the moon come up crawling
Loose change in my pocket
Loose change in my pocket


I pour another drink, wait for the night to get through
Stars are burning in that black void so far away and blue


Now I'm sittin' at a red light I feel somethin' tickin' way down
The night's moving like a slow train crawling through this %#@!hole town

Got my bags packed in the back and I'm tryin' to get going again
But red just goes to green and green goes red and then
Then all I hear's the clock on the dash tick-tocking

Loose change in my pocket
Loose change in my pocket
