LATE-NIGHT WORKER

The nights
Are cold and lonely
So she brings it in off the street.
She takes it inside
Where she knows she can hide
From the cop out walking his beat.

The bars
Are dark and crowded
But it’s better there anyway.
She knows what to do,
She can do it for you,
If you’re only willing to pay.

‘Cause she’s a late-night worker,
Trying to make a living the best that she can.
Yes, she’s a late-night worker,
Doing her best to try and please every man,
And she’s a late-night worker,
Trying to raise the money to feed her kid.
Yes, she’s a late-night worker,
Praying that her daughter won’t end up like she did.

The men
Are always married,
And they’re only there for the night.
They just want some fun
And as soon as they’re done,
Then they quickly fade out of sight.
