The After Midnight Special

I only slow dance with strangers

And I like a lover with a little mystery

I save the best ones for a little later

So I can give him the best of me

Just a woman lookin' for a man

Among the music, liquor, and smoky haze

Knows what to do with both his hands

Beyond the walls of this neonscape

And I've been known as the after midnight special

'Cause I'm just a dusty barroom rose

I've got a weakness for lovin' the wrong kind

But, you know, that's how it goes

So if he's thinkin' about taking me home

And holds me close while the steel whines

I've got a memory that cannot bend

Another place, another time

And I've been known as the after midnight special

But I'm just a wilted barroom rose

I've got a weakness for lovin' all the wrong kinds

But, they say, that's how it goes

So if you're thinkin' about takin' me home

Please hold me close while the steel whines

And if you don't mind a heart that cannot mend

Then tonight I'll make you mine

And if you don't mind a heart that cannot mend

Then tonight I'll make you mine
