Loose Change (Studio Outtake - 1991)

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, Im 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 Im sittin at a red light I feel somethin tickin way down
The nights moving like a slow train crawling through this shithole town
Got my bags packed in the back and Im tryin to get going again
But red just goes to green and green goes red and then
Then all I hears the clock on the dash tick-tocking
Loose change in my pocket
