lyrics

He said wait right here for just a minute
And a minute turned to seventeen years
He said,"Babe I swear I won’t be gone for long"
Guess who’s turned up back in town
Singing Christmas carols on your lawn?

He’s got a photo with Sammy Hagar
And a tattoo says, Aloha
He’s got a scar that runs from his elbow to his watch
Hung up on the baby sitter
Stepping in your kitty litter box
He got it in his socks

Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to find a new kind of trouble
Stacked my chips at the edge of the table
Now I’m gonna push 'em in
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to roll my lucky number
'Cuz only for this evening losers win

He’s got a bit of a limp but that don’t stop him
From pulling you out on the dance floor
He asks the band if they can play “Within Your Reach" (I can't live without your touch)
He’s still got that wallet chain
It’s the only thing that kept him sane in Long Beach

He says he left his heart in Fresno
And his credit card in Houston
Left his muffler at a truck stop in Buffalo
Eating up those highway miles
Dreaming of your crooked smile back home
Got a long way to go

Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to find a new kind of trouble
Stacked my chips at the edge of the table
Now I’m gonna push 'em in
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to roll my lucky number
'Cuz only for this evening losers win

Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking in all the bus stops and Seven Elevens
We got one chance to get it together
Come on won’t you let me in
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to find the best kind of trouble
Cards out on the table -- losers win

Guitarist Andy Sullivan, bassist Cal Everett and drummer John Kelly share a love of obscure 1970s power pop and have played shows across the Washington, D.C. region, winning the occasional battle of the bands and jamming with heroes like Paul Collins.
