Hot Night In A Cold Town Lyrics - Steppenwolf

Words and music by R. Littlefield and G. Cushing- Murray 

Sonny's out strolling...ambling slowly...awash in amber streetlight 

A Mexican wind blows in, breaking the hold Angelenos have on their halos 

Motors running muffle all the sound 

Street talk about big deals going down 

We got another hot night in a cold town 

It's another hot night in a cold town 

Johnny's got spare change in his pocket 

A ring and a watch too hock for a sweet ride 

A one way ticket's hidden in his shoe 

The last few hours Sonny, he'll spend with you 

He's leaving town without a trace 

No forwarding address, he'll never have to face... 

Another hot night in a cold town 

Hot night in a cold town 

With the movers and the groovers...cornerboys hanging around 

Going in and out the doorways...up and down the stairs 

Stray dogs headed for the pound 

We got another hot night in a cold town 

Hot night in a cold, cold, cold...cold town
