_____________________ SONG LYRICS _______________________


I was heading East toward Shreveport Lou’siana
ROLLIN’ all night long, makin' up some miles
Stopped in Dallas at the Lone Star Diner
for a cuppa Joe and to rest my eyes a while

The waitress there was a damn good looking’ woman
And the way she smiled at me really caught my eye
She wore a cute little waitress dress
that said Loretta up on her chest
and almost made it to the mid-point of her thigh

Loretta walked up in a real flirtatious manner
when she topped off my coffee the second time
she said, “How’d you like to see
something you can have for free …
but ’ll defi-nit-ely delay your departure time?”

I said Hell Yeah I’d love to see YOUR "Daily Special"
so she put her her high heeled foot up on my chair
I said, “I'd sure like to see THAT on the Takeout Menu” !!
So she took my hand and we walked right out of there

There was a stairway out behind the Lone Star Diner
and I followed her up to the second floor
She said, “We gotta keep it down, ‘cause Little Lenny’s sleeping
... in the bedroom down the hall behind that door

That made me start to wonder about Big Lenny …
She said don’t worry he don’t live here ’round no more
Walked out on his wife and son
  Moved down to Galveston
Where he controls the drugs ’n gambling near the shore


Drugs and Gamblin…huh That made me feel a bit unsettled
But then her dress came off and she tossed it on a chair
For an hour and a half we were rolling round and moanin
‘Til I noticed "LITTLE LENNY" standing there

(BRIDGE)
LITTLE was surely not my first impression
Of the MEAN LOOKING DUDE with the GUN over by the door
I jumped up and grabbed my pants and keys and wallet
And dove out the window from the second floor

I tucked and rolled as bullets landed all around me
And I ran like hell across the parking lot
I guess Little Lenny’s eyesight was still blurry
Cause my lily white ass should have made an easy shot


And that’s why I can’t never go back to Dallas
there’s danger on every corner there for ME
Little Lenny and his gun
have kept me on the run
with a broken heart and a life of misery

My sweet Loretta’s gone
and I’m forced to carry on
with a broken heart and a life of misery
a broken heart and a life of misery
a broken heart and a life of misery ...
