Steve Earle - Out in the Parking Lot lyrics

Sittin' on a fender of someone else’s truck
Drinking Old Crow whiskey and hot 7-Up
Out in the parking lot

You can hear the band playing
Right through the wall
Ain't no cover charge and no last call
Out in the parking lot

Now there's a couple of cowpokes
Puttin’ up their dukes
Wasn't much to it after both of them puked
Out in the parking lot
Now someone called the police and
The police finally came
Wrote them a couple of tickets
Took a couple of names
Out in the parking lot

Oops, there's a couple who couldn't
Wait to get home they're probably in love
Let's leave them alone
Out in the parking lot

Now the band is on the bus
And they're all loaded up to leave
The drummer's got a girlfriend and
She’s tugging at his sleeve
Out in the parking lot

I love to see the neon dancing on the gravel
I love to hear the
Pick-up trucks come unravelled
Some have given up, some have given in
Everybody lookin’ for a friend

Now everybody's gone
They’ve shut out all the lights
The dust begins to settle and
It's never been so quiet
Out in the parking lot
