Loose Change Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Loose Change

Met her at a friendly little bar down along the coast
She said it was her birthday so we had us a nice little toast
Drove around for a while, smoked a few cigarettes
Took her back to my place, she slipped off her party dress
She sat for a while on the edge of the bed just talkin
Loose change in my pocket
Loose change in my pocket

Pint of gin in my boot cuff, Im drivin for a drink and a dance
Sittin on the next stool, miss a little time on her hands
Yeah I knew she was trouble, but trouble sure was lookin fine
And when I pulled her close what I knew kinda slipped my mind
We lay in bed and watched the moon come up crawling
Loose change in my pocket
Loose change in my pocket

I pour another drink, wait for the night to get through
Stars are burning in that black void so far away and blue

Now Im sittin at a red light I feel somethin tickin way down
The nights moving like a slow train crawling through this shithole town
Got my bags packed in the back and Im tryin to get going again
But red just goes to green and green goes red and then
Then all I hears the clock on the dash tick-tocking
Loose change in my pocket
Loose change in my pocket
