Roger Miller - Tomorrow Night In Baltimore Lyrics
Her head rolls back and forthAgainst the billows of her long black shiny hairAs she contemplates the ecstasyOf some other love that now she wished was thereIf she could only realise that the love I have could beckon her commandInstead of laughing endlessly and pushing back advances with her handsEvery night I see her leaves a nightmare of illusions when shes goneAnd it leaves a longing feeling in a man with a pain that lingers onThe gaudy goodbye cant replace the girlish giggle of her sweet helloBut tonight Ive made my crumbled mind up that Ill never ever let her goToo many nights Ive watched her teaseBy shifting all her weight from hip to hipAnd with her hands brush back the falling strandsThat cover up her satin lipsShe struts upon the stage and her fallen victims are calling out for moreBut she leaves them stranded helplessly and exits to her dressing room doorTonight Im gonna take her, Ive infiltrated past the guarded doorBut she just hurries by me carrying all those scanty costumes that she woreAnd she asks a sawed off cigar smoking cat if he would open up the doorThen she told him to load the baggageBecause they open tomorrow night in baltimoreGod if I have to crawl, Im gonna be there tomorrow night in baltimore
