Roger Miller - Tomorrow Night In Baltimore lyrics

rate me

Her head rolls back and forth

Against the billows of her long black shiny hair

As she contemplates the ecstasy

Of some other love that now she wished was there

If she could only realise that the love i have could beckon her command

Instead of laughing endlessly and pushing back advances with her hands

Every night i see her leaves a nightmare of illusions when she's gone

And it leaves a longing feeling in a man with a pain that lingers on

The gaudy goodbye can't replace the girlish giggle of her sweet hello

But tonight i've made my crumbled mind up that i'll never ever let her go

Too many nights i've watched her tease

By shifting all her weight from hip to hip

And with her hands brush back the falling strands

That cover up her satin lips

She struts upon the stage and her fallen victims are calling out for more

But she leaves them stranded helplessly and exits to her dressing room door

Tonight i'm gonna take her, i've infiltrated past the guarded door

But she just hurries by me carrying all those scanty costumes that she wore

And she asks a sawed off cigar smoking cat if he would open up the door

Then she told him to load the baggage

Because they open tomorrow night in baltimore

God' if i have to crawl, i'm gonna be there tomorrow night in baltimore
