Empty Parking Lots Lyrics
“Who is the man in the hat?” she asked me, “In the black trench coat”
I wheel around but he’s gone in a flash, as soon as she had spoke
I tell her, “It’s only your imagination,” even though I knew I’d seen him before
“Sewer rats, alley cats, and junkyard dogs are always hanging around of my back door.”
Chorus:
And the rain falls down like it ain’t ever gonna stop
Pawn shops, liquor stores, empty parking lots
Now a certain urgency in the way that she moves, and I know it’s still on her mind
“We’re not alone anymore,” she says as I take her hand in mine
I feel the reassuring weight of my loaded automatic, strapped tight to my side
“Ain’t nobody gonna fuck with us, baby,” I casually replied
Repeat Chorus
“Well now nothing can make them pearly gates open up wide for you,
Heaven’s gotta wait just as long as it takes for the devil to finally get his due.”
She pulls me close puts her head on my shoulder, and slowly starts to relax
“Quit your big talking, daddy, let’s go,” she says, and this time she don’t look back
Repeat Chorus (2x)
I wheel around but he’s gone in a flash, as soon as she had spoke
I tell her, “It’s only your imagination,” even though I knew I’d seen him before
“Sewer rats, alley cats, and junkyard dogs are always hanging around of my back door.”
And the rain falls down like it ain’t ever gonna stop
Pawn shops, liquor stores, empty parking lots
“We’re not alone anymore,” she says as I take her hand in mine
I feel the reassuring weight of my loaded automatic, strapped tight to my side
“Ain’t nobody gonna fuck with us, baby,” I casually replied
Heaven’s gotta wait just as long as it takes for the devil to finally get his due.”
She pulls me close puts her head on my shoulder, and slowly starts to relax
“Quit your big talking, daddy, let’s go,” she says, and this time she don’t look back
